We’ve reached the top of the Exuma Island chain; our first stop being Highborne Cay. The water is incredibly clear, and the snorkeling great... though we would recommend avoiding the area just outside Highborne Cay Marina where a dozen or so very large nurse sharks have developed their very own "snack bar". They wait at the end of the dock, under the fish cleaning station, and are frequently rewarded with scraps.
We opted to check-in to the marina to wait out a passing front after 2 days in a very ROLLY anchorage nearby. The combination of wind against current plus some strong surge in the anchorage made it feel as though we were sleeping in a washing machine! The marina is very nice and much more comfortable... particularly the beach side hammocks, which we highly recommend.

P.S. from Pat: While Jo and Jake were writing this and baking some delicious sugar cookies, Drew, Emily and I went snorkeling and spear fishing. We managed to bring home a nice sized Yellowtail Snapper. Time from spear tip to grill, about 20 minutes. Mmmmmmm, lunch time!
