After four nights at our own private anchorage at Hall's Pond, we decided to brave the strong east winds and move on to another anchorage within the Land & Sea Park.
We hooked up to a mooring ball at Cambridge Cay. We prefer this anchorage over the one at Warderick Wells. It is more remote and even prettier here.
We took a long walk on the secluded beach.
There was a path lined with conch shells that we followed across the island for a view of the Exuma Sound.
We have gone through a period of strong winds. We have been struck by the contrast between the Bahamas and the Great Lakes regarding wind patterns. At home, we can usually count on the wind dying down at night. Here the wind continues to blow steadily all through the night, often in excess of twenty knots. So far, we haven't had trouble with our anchor holding, but we are always careful in setting the anchor and Dan usually dives down to check it. Hopefully these will not be famous last words.
We plan to move on to Sampson Cay tomorrow, leaving the protected waters of the park and giving Dan a chance to put some fresh fish on our table.
