The weather is a changin' and everyone is talking about it and where best to ride out an unsettled Wednesday. Last night the air was still and humid. This morning we awoke to a fiery red sunrise. Ti Amo was perfectly silhouetted as I watched the painted sky from our pilothouse. The morning continued its show as we pulled out of the anchorage just before 7:30 in a golden glow. As time passed, the sky began to darken and we finally got a good rain to wash away some of our accumulated salt. The brief shower soon gave way to a bluer sky. As we made our way to Cambridge Cay, we circled around to the top of the private Bell Island. We were forewarned about a rock pile that would seem a bit too close, but that was where the deep water was. We were still a little freaked out be rocks just outside our door.
This is another picture perfect place with beautiful clear water, sandy beaches, rock formations, and vegetation all playing together in nature's symphony. The view out our back door is pretty good today. We anchored in Cambridge Cay which is part of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park and were met by the harbor hosts aboard Sea Lark. We and Sea Lark just happen to share the same home port at Stingray Point Marina. Small world. Once checked in, we lowered the dinghy and went exploring. We all walked around a small island with many cairns along the way. Jaxon had fun sniffing all the rocks and running wildly up and down the large sand bar.
We arrived here close to low tide and the sand bar extended gracefully into the water. It will be interesting to see how much of that island is visible at high tide. Back to Crossroads we went to prepare for appys on the beach to be followed by dinner onboard. Our neighbor tonight is Alessandra, a 157-foot motor yacht available for charter for $150,000 per week ... plus expenses. Appys were well attended with dinghies lining the beach and people packed in tightly. We could have used a bigger beach.
Glenda and Greg returned to Ti Amo to pick up Jaxon then joined us for dinner as the sun set across the anchorage. We enjoyed a bit of home cookin' tonight as we shared chicken pie and Bahamian mac n cheese prepared by my cousin Deidre. To that we added our asparagus purchased in Staniel Cay and an apple crisp Glenda made. It was a feast and we all said goodnight on the verge of food comas. Our harbor hosts will be conducting a nature hike in the morning at 9:30 (weather permitting). We'll need to get out for a little exercise, but the meal was soooo good. The final shot comes courtesy of Greg who caught us last night at sunset in the Shroud Cay anchorage.
