Whale Cay, Berry Islands, Bahamas

Had a very busy day yesterday!

We took the dinghies for a long ride out to the southern end of Whale Cay where we had seen a reef  on the navigation chart. 

We found it and enjoyed it - but it was not really all that special.  I guess we're spoiled!  Fun though.

Leslie and Ralph getting ready to drop anchor at the reef.


Pretty coral, clear water.




At the tip of Whale Cay there is an abandoned lighthouse.



So we pulled the dinghies over to the beach and went for a little walk.




The lighthouse path/road.  Clearly this was an active area long ago.



But inside is almost rubble.




View from inside what appears to be the "keeper's room".



View of the ocean to the south.  This is where we were snorkeling earlier out where the light blue meets the darker blue.





View to our anchorage, Duane walking down the path.




And then we snorkeled a small sunken barge.  Plenty of fish.  Fun for a few minutes.



 And then back to the boats.




Later Ralph flew his drone and got this fabulous shot of both our boats!  (Sojourn on the left and Now & Zen on the right).



Later we invited the crew of Voyager (Robert and Linda) over for sundowners (and Leslie & Ralph, of course).  Fun evening.

  1. ...that's a neat old lighthouse...I always think abandoned buildings like that are spooky...
