Black Point

Saturday morning we got up early and headed over to a little cove just South of Black Point. We had opted to anchor here for the night just to check out some of these beaches and this cove was just calling my name!

We loaded up the mutt and dinghied in to the cove and were not disappointed. The water was crystal clear and it was perfect for an early morning swim. There was a large storm passing just West of us and we waited until we were sure it wasn't headed in the same direction we were before we headed back to the mothership.

We upped anchor at 10am and jib sailed the short (5m) to Black Point where we found a perfect anchor spot close to town. We got the hook down and headed into town. There was an event going on at the local school - food, music and games - to raise money for the kids. The food smelled delicious and we couldn't help but give in and support the kids. It was some of the best local bahamaian fare we have had since being here!

The music blared from town all through the day, the sky was cloudless and the water was clear and inviting. So, after soaking in some rays, we decided to jump in for a cool down. Brad got motivated and started scrubbing the bottom....as you can see, I just monitored his progress and took lots of pictures. Hey, someone has to be the photog!!

We capped off the evening with a few rousing games of Battleship at sunset and then a movie to end the day. It was a perfect Exuma day!! Tomorrow we head up to Staniel Cay to rendevous with old friends!


Waiting for this nasty storm to pass us by:

This definitely qualifies as a blue job!
