After one night at White Point, we continued north and had a great sail to Staniel Cay. Staniel is one of the "can't miss spots" in the Exumas. We anchored near the yacht club which provided easy access to the town. We will be meeting our good friends, Randy and Sherri at Staniel in a couple of weeks, so we decided to leave after one night and head further north. We stopped at Thomas Cay for a night and pretty much had it to ourselves, until...
this seaplane took off from a nearby resort and flew right by our anchorage.
In Lake Erie, at the beginning of our trip, we met George and Jackie on Heritage. At some point, we began "traveling with Heritage" and have developed a close friendship. In the Chesapeake Bay we met Dennis and Chrissie on Chances and we began "traveling with Heritage and Chances" and developed a close friendship. In late December, Dennis and Chrissie returned to Toronto to be with family for the holidays. We continued down the Florida coast with George and Jackie. They had family coming into Miami to meet them right after the first of the year so they could not cross to the Bahamas when we did.
Glory Days left Miami for the Bahamas right after Christmas, and our friends remained in Florida. We have stayed in touch, but on February 5th, while we were sitting at Thomas Cay, we got a call on the radio from Heritage, "we will be in Warderick Wells this afternoon, where are you guys?" Dan replied, "we are just south of there and we will meet you at Warderick!" Later that afternoon we had a nice reunion (and a few drinks) with Chances and Heritage and caught up on what each of us had been doing.
This is a view of the mooring field at Warderick Wells. Is there a prettier spot in the Bahamas?
The next day we took the dinghy a short distance to Kelly's Reef for some snorkeling off this beautiful beach.
The next morning we headed south to Cambridge Cay. We had been here a couple of weeks ago, but wanted to share this jewel with our friends.
We have spent the last two days snorkeling and hiking on the island.
Jackie lead the ladies in an impromptu workout on the beach.
After the workout, Laurie found a hammock to rest in.
Things are good with the Glory Days crew and we are enjoying some very relaxing time with friends.
