1st Exumas stop - Highbourne

After the kids went to play in the Atlantis water park and  Dan, Sydney and I went into town to get a couple of supplies, we left for our next stop.  The ride to Highbourne was a bit rougher than we expected.  We, on our very tall boat, was getting spray on the upper deck, while the Boston Whaler was giving Kim and Revil a week’s worth of exercise because of the excess bouncing around they endured in the decent size seas.  We arrived in a larger cove around 5PM and set our anchors.  Both Dan and Russell dove the anchors to make sure we were set properly.  Dan couldn’t resist taking a “selfie” with his new beloved stabilizers.  He has been waiting to see the “best boat investment” of all times in the clear waters of the Exumas.

We all jumped into the water and hung out for the next couple of hours while a pair of strings rays circled below us on the ocean floor.

We finally got our rest day and enjoyed the beautiful white sandy beaches of the cove, after visiting Allen's Island with the Iguanas and looking for coral heads to dive and fish the next day.

The winds have been pretty strong and our anchorage has held well, but is producing quite a bit of movement within the boat.

You kind of learn to do things on the swell. Last night, I was frying tortillas and I was watching the oil slosh back and forth.  It made for quite the interesting cooking experience.  While eating - we played, catch the glass and plates when they slid on the table.  All in all - this is a great location - especially the beautiful waters we have called home for the last couple of nights.
