Warderick Wells Cay

January 31st.

Sailed from shroud Cay to Warderick Wells Cay.  It was about a 4 hour trip.  Sailed for a bit over half of it.  I slowly turned into the wind to reach my destination and decided to drop the sails and motor the rest of the way.  I know kinda lazy but what the hell.

Warderick Wells is where the park headquarters are located for the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park.  It is a no take zone, you can't take anything from the land or the water, living or dead.  They have mooring balls and Wifi(100 megs or 24 hours, whichever comes first), what more can you ask for.  They do not have any facilities here, no fuel, water, restrooms, trash cans, nothing.  What they do have is absolutely gorgeous water and beautiful beaches.  This place is a must see!

February 1st.
Walked around the island a bit, discovered Boo Boo Hill.  The only place within the park that you can actually leave something behind.  It is a tradition to put your boat name on driftwood and leave it on this hill.  There are some great views.

That night Storyville, Kaleo and myself worked on our signs to leave on the hill the next day.
Also walked over to Boo Boo Beach.


February 2nd.
Took my sign up to Boo Boo Hill.  Went to check out the blow holes but the tide is not right, no water blowing up but the draft was pretty incredible.
Finally got in the water today, took the dinghy out to a small reef.  Saw numerous small fish, they folks on Genesis and Pipe Muh Bligh saw a pretty large lobster but weren't able to get dinner since this is a no take zone.  After the snorkeling we zipped around some, there is a pretty cool house that is anchored next to the beach, not sure what the story is behind it.  Saw some more incredible beaches.
We came back to Storyville to hang out at their own personal beach, literally twice a day when the tide comes in and out they have a beach 20 feet off the stern of their boat.  While we tying up to their boat we saw a stingray under their boat.  Of course we had to jump in the dinghys and follow it around,  While doing that a Nurse Shark came cruising by so we all followed him around for a while.  I have some pretty jerky videos but will try to get them up soon.
It has been another great day!
