| Beautiful Reef Fish |
Thursday was a full day of snorkeling. We started by dinking to the Rocky Dundas
reef, about 1.5 miles south. We thought
it to be the most beautiful reef we have seen thus far. We returned to the boat to await the 1600
slack tide to avoid the strong current at the Sea Aquarium. The Sea Aquarium is a crystal clear reef with many
and large varieties of reef fish. When
the tide was right, we dinghied over. We
were in awe of the area with beautiful beaches and water. The Aquarium is next to Little Halls Pond
Cay, also known as Johnny Depp Island, because he owns it. We tied the dink to one of the mooring balls
provided at the sight and jumped in. We
couldn’t believe the greeting received by fish.
Obviously, they are used to being fed by humans and have no fear of
being “feed.” I’m unable to identify the
mass variety of species but they were every color imaginable. See pictures below. On our return to PV, Ruth also took a few
videos of another sunken plane.
As we make our way north up the Exuma chain of islands we
are attempting to see the spots we missed on the trip south. Our pattern has been to travel one day then
see the area for a day or two. Friday we
will sail approximately 25 N/M north to Shroud Cay which is just a few miles
south of Norman Cay. Norman is where we
first entered the Exumas crossing from Nassau.
From there we’ll decide if we want to continue north on the Exumas or
take the Yellow Bank route back to Nassau.
