Guana Cay

5.6.11

Snorkeling was not in our future at Guana Cay; instead we dinghied over to a deserted beach for some sunbathing and beach combing. We found so many sand dollars at this one beach we were amazed! We spent the rest of the gorgeous afternoon playing in the crystal clear water and laying on the beautiful white sandy beach.

On a side note: apparently sand dollars, when living, have a soft spiny covering on them – usually purple, brown, or green - and the shells that we pick up off the beaches are actually dead sand dollars. The fragile shells are actually their bones. Who knew?! Thank you google!

We waited eagerly for the front to pass through so we could go on about our travels. While we experienced a full day of cloud cover and some intermittent rain, we never got the expected winds and the weather stayed mild for the remainder of our stay at Guana.
