Making Landfall in the Exumas

We’ve been to the Exuma Land and Sea Park once before and since that time we promised ourselves we’d return when we could stay longer.

Next Time, I'm bringing a Frisbee!

The locals will tell you that every island in the Bahamas has its own personality…. We’ve already found that to be true.   When we brought our dingy ashore, we were met by three local dogs who decided to accompany us on our walk.  White sandy beaches, swimming pool water, and friendly dogs… who can complain?

So here are two pics. He parked himself under the yacht and surfaced about six times each after about five minutes. Twice he hung around and blew water out like he was playing….. Maybe he was trying to help… Who knows? Spill the Wine – Teak Week 2015
