Just another beautiful day in the Bahamas…while a thunderstorm passes I am working a bit.
Yesterday we celebrated a milestone birthday for Ron with a group of about 15 people by boating, snorkeling and enjoying the islands. We all boarded a dear friends powerboat and headed off to Fowl Cay Preserve, an underwater park where the sea life is protected and the snorkeling is beautiful. It was low tide and so the access to the reef was traveled with precision as the boat had about a 5 foot draft and there were a few reef heads showing. Once comfortably anchored between the coral heads, we had a minute swim over to several snorkeling locations. The area was swarming with fish… parrot fish, sargent majors, fairy bassets, just to name a few. The find of the day was spotting a ray nestled under a bit of sand, with tail, spine and eyes just visible. It had about a 5 foot wing span and we all enjoyed viewing him while he rested in the sand.
Next we headed to Guana Cay for lunch and the locally, well known restaurant/bar called Nipper’s. We lunched on the deck with a gorgeous view of the Atlantic Ocean, then body surfed in the the breaking waves and swam in the two tiered pool. After a full afternoon of water, sun, and Nipper’s Rum Punches, we boated home to regroup. The day ended delightfully with dinner on the deck of Bahama Beach Club where the staffed added a few touches to make it a very special evening.
