From: Warderick Wells, Exuma Park North Anchorage N24*23.814 W076*37.943 To: Black Point, Great Guana Cay, Exuma N24*06.139 W076*24.117

     The weather is still cool – upper sixties still. We got up and listened to the weather from Highborne Cay and from the kind lady that announces it. I can’t believe that the park no longer gives the weather in the morning. I guess that was a “Judy Extra” when she was here. After coffee and the weather we got ready to leave the park and released the mooring ball. As we were pulling out at 9am Darcy came on asking for “Any boats departing Warderick Wells, come now?” Wayne told her we were leaving as I maneuvered around the boats & mooring balls and out into the cut.
     As we turned west into the cut toward the Bahamas bank, I saw Tropic Birds. The north end of the island is a nesting sight for them and closed to hikers. We watched the two Tropic Birds soar up into the air in a mating dance/flight. They were beautiful. They turned about each other in the air in an upward spiral. Their long tails drifting in the air behind them – quite beautiful white birds…oblivious of us but bidding us farewell.
     The water is sunlit and aqua turning into a bright aqua and white over the sandbars. Beautiful water. As we approached Harvey Cay, the water took on an emerald hue. Beautiful green water reminding me of emeralds, jade, diastase and when Wayne mentioned malachite, I had to agree. That was a good color description that actually took in the darker greens in the deeper depths of the water.
     We pulled into the Black Point anchorage at 2:00pm and are anchored in 10 ft of water at high tide. The charts say that it’s 7-8 ft at low tide so we should be pretty good here. The plan is to hit the post office, do some laundry (they have a wonderful new laundry here as I recall) and get some conch and Internet time at Lorraines Café. I’m wondering if Eunice is still here? She was the woman I met last year on her birthday – 100 years old.
