What we get for our trouble

Some might ask, “Why would you bother to sail several hundred miles, dodge coral reefs, leave family behind, and fight off pirates (just kidding – on the pirate part)? Here’s why!

We spent most of this week in the Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park, which was the first park of its kind in the world. Here’s a link to Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park for more information. With the exception of the Pipe Creek pictures all the rest were taken within the park.

It is said that the Eskimos have 180 words for Snow. In the Bahamas, there have to be at least 180 words to describe the different shades of blue you will see within the waters of the park – unfortunately, I don’t have the words to describe the beauty. You’ll just have to see it for yourself sometime — put it on your Bucket List and you won’t be disappointed!!
