We have been to Cambridge Cay, Shroud Cay and now we are at Highbourne Cay.
The next morning early when it was slack tide (and no tour boats around) we went to what they call the aquarium. A rock formation that had the best colorful coral and fish we have snorkeled to so far. It was great we had the place to ourselves. We met some new folks that day too, they were on a boat called Molly Brown who invited us over got happy hour. It is amazing how friendly the boating community can be, they were great hosts and we all had a lot of stories to share.
On to Shroud Cay, this was a great anchorage with mooring balls. As soon as we arrived, we got the dinghy in the water so we could take it through a 4-mile mangrove tidal river, saw turtles, sharks and needle fish.
At the end of the tidal river, you came out on the other side of the island to the ocean to a spot called the “washing machine” this is where two currents/waves come together, which made the sand was soft and super fine that your feet just sunk in to your ankles.
Then on to Highbourne Cay Marina. Yes, a marina this time. We needed to be able to plug in and start the ac, the boat needed to dry out a bit. Not to mention that we could plug in anything and every electronic we have with us completely charged up. Did I mention they have showers, we have not had a real shower since we were at the Great Harbor Marina, 6 weeks ago.
Highbourne has a few celebrities here, Lou Ann the property Macaw. We were told she was a real biter so we got
close enough for a picture.
At one end of the docks, where they clean fish here is a tons of nurse sharks just waiting for the days catch to be cleaned. They were very impressive one of them had to be 12 foot.
Last but not least Walter made a few new friends on our dock. (Walter's peeps)
Forgot to mention back in George Town we came across the local hair salon with a sign that, was confusing. It said hair and fish (huh), had to check it out. The sign was spot on, it was a hair salon whose owners husband was a fisherman, they sold fresh daily caught fish out of a cooler and had a freezer of lobsters. We did not get our hair cut but we did buy 2 lobster tails and a few filets of grouper and snapper. The lobster tails made a tasty Easter meal.
Fun fact, our dermatologists would be proud, we have been buttering up every day, the jug will last forever
Y'all are having so much fun! I really enjoy reading your blog!
