We did not sleep much at all last night. It was a lot rougher than we expected. First thing in the am, we called the Exuma office and requested a mooring ball. We were assigned E10 – close to a place called Emerald Rock. We really don’t have much experience using mooring balls but I think we did pretty good … catching it on our first attempt. Larry spent some time to make sure we were attached good to the mooring ball. He wants to spend some time and redo our anchor bridle so it can be used for the moorings easily as well.
Once we were settled and had a bite to eat, we headed to the island. We did the customary chore of hiking to BooBoo Hill and putting a name plaque that we’d made out of bamboo we’d found at Shroud to prove we were there! I will try to download some pictures so you can see what I mean.
Wardrick Wells has internet that you can purchase and actually access from the boat. I am sitting here now, finishing this log before I send it off. The internet costs $15 for 24 hours or 100 mbps … whichever come first. I will have to see what 100 mbps gives me because I don’t have a clue!
Summary
We will be spending two nights here on a mooring at Wardrick Wells. We’re Bahamas National Trust members and two nights are included with your membership so these two nights are free J
We are anxious to head further south. We especially want to get out of the park where we can fish. We will head out as soon as weather permits.
We are heading down to the Georgetown area and aren’t sure how many stops we’ll make along the way. We should be able to send another update in Georgetown. Then we were thinking of heading to the Juementos and Ragged Islands. These are out of the way islands that very few boaters are supposed to visit and they say the fishing is great. We are looking forward to some seclusion!
We will keep you posted the best we can. Hope all is well with our family and friends. Soulmatie thinks of you often!
