From Guana Cay we motored over to Treasure Cay which is a resort marina on one of the top ten rated beaches in the world.
The beach is like white baby powder and goes for 3.5 miles in a beautiful crescent of sand. The anchorage is in a basin off of the marina which can hold 150 boats. There is a hotel/ condo development here which was built in the 1990s. They dredged miles and miles of canal much like Fort Lauderdale for people to have their boats at their home docks. We paddled around much of the area while the wind was down and I had my wish of kayaking with a dolphin come true. While Rob was back talking to another boater I paddled up a canal watching this dolphin fish and every once in awhile he would come closer to me and take a peak at me. Of course most of my pictures show water but I did catch the odd fin at the surface. Rob arrived to see me with a big smile on my face and playing chase and peak with the dolphin. One of the folks we spoke to who live here say that the mother dolphins often bring their young into the canals to teach them how to catch snapper along the edges of the canal when the tide is low.
Today I am heading to shore to do some internet while Rob is tackling the leaking "head" (toilet) job! This is a job that he does not want me onboard for so it works well that I have some place to go and get out of his hair. Besides it isn't pretty and this way the captain can say what he wants to and the admiral won't hear a thing. For ten dollars I can use the pool, showers and internet if it is warm enough. Today the front has come through so it is a little chilly and I will have a fair row to the marina in 20 knot winds but it is good exercise. I am getting lots of computer work done; however even in my fleece top I am a little on the cool side. Perhaps the sun will come out this afternoon and warm things up? We really can not complain about the weather this year as it has been a great winter.
Where there is sand there are sandcastles and mermaids!
