Scotland Cay, Abacos, Bahamas

 Rita picked us up in the golf cart to take us across the runway to a snorkel spot.  The winds were calm enough for us to go to an outside reef.

 

Was strange to walk into the surf with our flippers on instead of jumping off the dinghy like we're used to....

Rita has a floating bucket with a weighted rope attached.  Good idea for keeping fish you've caught vs. having to swim back to the dinghy each time to deposit your fish.

There were not many fish and little coral.

 


So we moved on to another spot Rita knows about.


There is a sunken pickup truck....Rita says there is usually a lot of fish hanging around. 

Rita and Duane looking for hidden fish.....


No fish worth taking so we moved on....a cool turtle swam by.

We stayed in the water a couple of hours until we were getting chilled....back to the marina.


Will and Rita invited us over for a late lunch - fun visiting with them and they are lovely hosts.  

Back to the boat  in the late afternoon there was quite a rumble outside - a delivery boat had docked with lots of building materials.  There is quite a bit of construction still ongoing with repairs from Hurricane Dorian.


Uneventful evening but a few no-see-um's caused us to have to close up the boat.  We'll head north just a bit tomorrow to visit with Reid and Laurie on Great Guana Cay!
