We left White sound in Green Turtle Cay and headed north to one of our favourite cays....Manjack. The weather had settled and was perfect for a kayak out into the ocean and a snorkel on the reef. Peter and Lynn joined us in their dinghy.
How can you not love this woman???
We saw lots of fish and a green turtle who wasn't too shy. It is definitely a sign of spring when you can paddle out onto the ocean. Of course everyday is different and the same ocean can look very different when a cold front blows through with 30 to 40 knot winds.
This collage shows how quiet our spot was one morning and how clear the water is. It sometimes feels like we are floating in an aquarium.
Actually the night before we were sitting on the foredeck looking at the stars and I heard the distinctive sound of a dolphin at the surface. We have seen dolphins while at anchor before; however we have never had one around the boat at night. He stayed around for several minutes and we could see his outline as he came to the surface for a breath. It was very special.Peter and Lynn had bought a new blow up tandem kayak but had not used it this season. Manjack's mangroves are made for kayaks and we had a wonderful time paddling among the baby nurse sharks, green turtles and the odd pig. We had lunch along the ocean beach and then Rob and I did some snorkelling on the way back to the boats. Peter and Lynn were delighted with their kayak and look forward to using it more in the future. It will be perfect on Mill Creek on the Chesapeake where they are building their new home.
Frist Edition and Celebrian happily anchored together at Manjaclk Cay.
We will miss sailing with First Edition and her crew next season.
