When we were anchored at Norman's Cay the Bahama Sound was so calm which is extremely rare. We went out in the deep water and explored and found some beautiful small anchorages with excellent beaches. We pulled anchored inside the cut at the airplane and anchored on the Sound side.
While anchored here our dinghy's water pump failed! Yep, Paul replaced it in our post Tow Boat U.S. back a few months ago. The good news is another dinghy towed Paul in and we had an extra on board. This is frustrating for Paul.
After Norman's Cay on the Sound side we travelled to Allen's Cay but the anchorage was not comfortable so we continued onto Rose Island (outside of Nassau). Unfortunately, this crossing was 5 foot waves ON THE BANKS! This was not comfortable the whole way. We checked 5 weather apps and not one said anything about big waves. I was exhausted by the time we anchored but so happy to be in the calm waters on the north side of Rose Island.
Some boater friends came from The Berry's to join us for drinks but before that we went ashore to see the peacocks. These birds are so awesome and not afraid of the hikers that come ashore to see them. All other times I have never seen them open their beautiful feathers for the females.
Peacocks are super noisy even if it is not mating season. Who needs a rooster when you can hear the peacocks on shore?
This photo is not cropped! Paul saw it and and said I cropped it too much. I actually got so close I could capture this amazing shot!
Our friends took these photos, we thank them.
