Pictures of Cambridge Cay Plus

Tonight, I feel quite decadent. In the last month, other than the few days we spent at Staniel Cay Club when we had visitors, we have been at anchor every day. Tonight, we are spending the night at Highborne Cay Marina - one of the few marinas in the Exmuas. We're here for the cell phone coverage and the Web access - and it's a bit of a change of pace - tomorrow, we'll move a little north and anchor once again in preparation for 2 long days of travel.

We spent the last 2 nights at Warderick Wells - and I have some great pictures of the "Northern Anchorage" where we were on a park mooring and also of our hike there - but I'll write about our stay there and upload those pictures the next time I have Web access - likely not for several days. On Sunday, we're headed north to the tip of Eleuthera, and then on Monday we hope to cross the Northeast Providence Channel back to the Abacos. So it's good-bye to the Exumas - we really would like to come back some day....

Hiking Cambridge Cay: View of the Exuma Sound

Looking down at our boat anchored on a Cambridge Cay mooring (Sea Change is the middle boat)

That's Bob at the bottom of the hill, a beach along the ocean side of the cay, and boats, including ours, in the anchorage/mooring field on the other side of the cay.

Looking toward the north end of Cambridge Cay

Since Cambridge Cay is part of the Exuma Land and Sea Park, a concerted effort is made to keep the beaches clear of the plastics, rubber, nylon rope, odd shoes, etc. that wash up on the beaches. During our hike, Bob did his part and picked up pieces of plastic. Here he's depositing garbage collected in bins provided by the park.

I didn't have time to post a the last couple of pictures of our visit with the kids. So - here we are on our last night on the porch of Thunderball Club where we went for Friday Night Ribs and Chicken.

Another Sunset!
