Monday 15th. Exuma Park



We have lucked out with the weather for the past few days. We have had high winds at night but the days clear up and the sun comes out and life is good. Today we met with Isabella and her children and another lady from a Canadian boat that we met on the ICW last fall and hiked several miles through the island. We visited some blow holes and traveled through a mangrove swamp, saw many different kinds of trees and other vegetation and several scampering little lizards. The trail took us by a secluded beach with white sand as soft as talcum powder. We also passed Boo Boo Hill on our way and checked to see if our sign we put there 6 or 7 weeks ago was still there. We located it among the hundreds of pieces of drift wood with boat names and placed it in a prominent place for all to see.
We listen to the weather every morning and it looks like we are in for a positive change over the next week or so. It will be nice to have good weather for our trek back through the islands. Several weeks ago in Georgetown a local man told us we would have about three more weeks of unsettled weather and then fair weather will take over, he hit it on the head I hope.
