Staniel Cay, Exumas, Bahamas

Had a fun time snorkeling the Thunderball Grotto again - we were the only ones there for a short while.  (That's nice because it's normally packed with folks.)

Neat view of some of the underwater caverns.



Outside the grotto, the coral is pretty nice too.  There was too much current to do too much exploring on the outside.



Nice view of the grotto top where the limestone has eroded leaving holes.



And here is a video of me swimming thru a little side cavern.  It gets bumpy at one point when it gets so narrow that my shoulders bump the sides of the rocks.  (I have a thick wetsuit on, so no scrapes!)




The usual culprits for dinner on Sojourn.  Played a fun card game (Golf) after dinner.   The crew from Haven stopped by and treated us to a send-off Champagne toast to Anna who is departing for her home in Ecuador.



Now and Zen sailed away under stormy skies.



They're going solo to Georgetown for about a week.  They'll catch up with us in the Ragged Islands.



And the stormy skies have cleared -  What If and Haven in the background.

We'll head out today at about noon together with What If - for an overnight sail about 110 miles south to the Ragged Islands.
