Walderwick Wells is the headquarters of Exuma Land
and Sea Park, there are around 20 buoys that
have been laid around the deeper channel which for us were $20 a night. The island itself has various marked walking
trials and almost as soon as we arrived we were off and walking through the Mangroves.

That evening we had a lovely time with Robie and Patsy who
brought over a bottle of rum to share, before we knew it the bottle was empty
and the sun had set!
The next day we felt slightly jaded but were keen to make
the most of the stunning surroundings we were up and in kayaks fighting again
the tide! We paddled off along the shore
to a deserted beach were we sat in the water watching the world go by, could
have been more idyllic especially as there was no wind so the sea what flat calm.

| What a beautiful anchorage |
That afternoon we met with Robie and Patsy for our playdate
and went snorkelling, we had to do this at slack tide as the currents run quite
strong through the anchorage. There was
some beautiful coral, we saw some huge spiny lobsters hiding in the rocks, a
large Nassau Grouper and a Lion fish neither of which we have seen before – the
Lion fish is actually an invasive species and is usually killed, we assumed
this was still surviving as there is no fishing in the Park. We would love to share some photos and will
add when we can but we can extract the photos from the camera at the moment due
to problems with our laptop!
The afternoon saw Mark up the mast attempting to resolve our
VHF problems and checking all our rigging.
He also took the camera with him and got some great photos.
