Exuma - Highborne Cays

We left Nassau at 2.30 pm in the afternoon. We had 40 miles in front of us and we were looking forward to the things that were to come our way. Everything went smoothly, the weather was good, even though the wind did come out of the direction we were heading, but we were used to using the motor to move forward and reaching our next destination. The ocean was calm and the colour of the water was mesmerizing. At 7 pm we finally reached our destination for the night, Highborne Cays. We looked for a a great spot to anchor and we found one where we could settle for the night. Julia and Carlos wanted to go for a swim, but we decided against it, after we saw a few nursing Sharks circling our boat. We knew that they are harmless, but we did not want to risk anything.

The next morning we could not believe our eyes, where we had landed the night before, the island is soooo beautiful, it is hard to describe in words. The first thing we did, was to jump into our bathing suits and we jumped into the water. Ahhhh it was so refreshing and we did continue to do so, until we had enough of jumping off the side of the boat and we were getting really hungry. so we decided to have a hearty breakfast, omelet with cheese, tomato, bacon and onions.... yummy!

After breakfast we did our schooling before exploring the nearby marina and the white beaches. We went snorkeling, swimming until dark. It was hard to leave the water as the air is so warm and soft and the water so soothing and comfortable..... we all had a great day and enjoyed ourselves.
