Highborne Cay

When we departed Shroud Cay, we went out Wax Cut and into Exuma Sound, running along the wall.

The wall off Long Cay and Highborne is spectacular. There are grooves running perpendicular to shore in the vicinity of the cuts, and you can follow these grooves to where the wall drops off. We made a couple of dives along this wall, in a couple of my favorite spots! (I've spent a lot of time diving here in the past)

In the late afternoon we went in to eh cove on the north end of Highborne Cay to anchor up for the evening.

We snorkeled in the cove for awhile, and went and played with Mercy on the beach. There was a stingray that kept coming up to where we were sitting in the sand in the shallow water. I have so many favorite places!

Wardwick Wells and Shroud Cay

The next morning we ran the outside through the cut north of Bell Rock, and into Wardwick Wells.

We worked our way through the narrow channel to close to the office and grabbed a mooring. Then we took the Whaler in to pay the mooring for the previous night, as well as for a night on a mooring at Shroud Cay. If you aren't on a mooring at Shroud, there isn't a fee, but I chose to take a mooring to support the Land and Sea Park.

We went back to the MERCY and ran the inside to Shroud Cay, where we grabbed a mooring for the night. We took the Whaler through the creek, all the way to the other side. I'd spent days here before, but now, the only creek you are allowed in with a motorized vessel is the northern creek. The other creeks would be great fun with a kayak, but I have found that I just don't have room for all the toys.

We did, however, enjoy the windsurfer as we zipped up and down by Shroud Cay.
