STANIEL CAY, EXUMA WELCOMES ALL

 It seems every year they repaint their welcome sign on the beach, the sun and salt fades the paint away every year. I love the pigs on the sign too as Staniel Cay is near the famous swimming pigs. 



Can't you just smell these fragrant blooms? Staniel Cay.

The full moon was providing us with super low tides (and high), so we took advantage of the many sand bars that surround Staniel Cay anchorage.

A very interesting star fish on the beach at Sandy Cay.

Rocky part of Sandy Cay

Way, way far in the distance is our anchorage along with about forty other boats. 


At Sandy Cay along the rocky shore are about a hundred small conch. It was low tide therefore many were on shore for us to lift up and look at them. They will grow quickly and then become conch fritters or conch chowder! There are regulations on when you are allowed to "harvest" conch. They have to be a certain size. 

Right now there are high winds of 25-30 mph and not the greatest direction. We are anchored well and just waiting for it all to blow over. 

Happy Easter weekend to you all.
