Since Susie’s return from Virginia Thursday (and her actually waking up Friday morning), we have been making our way northwest each day, progressing toward our required departure from the Bahamas.
Friday, we had a short cruise to catch up with Terry & Lynn at Manjack.
Terry & Lynn had been there for a couple of days and were ready with a plan to guide us on a dinghy trip through the “creek” that runs into the interior of the island. We saw dozens of turtles – large, small, and smaller! – a couple of rays, and even a cute young shark (Baby Shark Shark Shark Shark) as we moseyed through the mangrove-edged waters. Just beautiful. It was good to get into such a pristine slice of nature.
Next up, they lead us to a path to the “famous” Art Magic Art-Walk on Manjack.
Having had some time on their hands, Terry and Lynn were prepared to add their own trash-to-treasure crafty creations to the Art Magic Art-Walk.
The Art Walk was… strange? That’s not the word. Bizarre? Nah. Eclectic? Close. How about “Just so creative and darn crazy that it can’t help but make you smile and laugh? Yup, that’s it!
With that, enjoy the slideshow of art cruisers have created from trash found in the islands:
Early Saturday morning, Todd and Terry tried a bit of snorkeling before we left Manjack for Allans Pensacola Cay. The ladies sat this one out. Not much for Jacques (Todd) to find ‘cept a lobster!
After the snorkel and not-take-a-lobster bit Saturday, we stowed the dinghies, weighed anchor and made a three-hour cruise to Allans Pensacola, where we all stretched our legs with some successful beach combing.
Sunday, we had a four-hour plus cruise to Great Sale Cay, where we have a weak signal.
At sunset, we had a visitor stop in for a chat with Susie.
Going Incommunicado!
Today we are heading to Mangrove Cay to stage for the weather window to cross back to Florida Tuesday. Never having been to Mangrove Cay, we don’t know whether or not we will have a signal there. Naturally there won’t be a signal during our fourteen-hour crossing tomorrow.
Anyone who would like to keep up with our progress can use the Locate Us button, as that will be tracking the boat’s movements. Here’s to an uneventful, smooth crossing back to the United States!
