Cambridge Cay, Exuma

May 16, 2014

Yesterday we moved about 20 miles north from Black Point to Cambridge Cay.

When we are asked what are our favorite places in the Exumas, we often say Black Point for the people and Cambridge Cay for natural beauty. So it is very nice that we are winding up our cruise with stays at these two places!

A few pictures from beautiful Cambridge Cay:

Note the different color waters

Yesterday also marks our 5th month in the Bahamas; we crossed to Bimini on December 15th.

So it is with some sadness that we start to plan our trip back to the States. We are planning to stay here until Monday, when we will work our way north to anchor off Highbourne Cay. Tuesday will be a trip over the 'White Bank' to West Bay on New Providence. We will probably stay in West Bay for a couple of nights as some unsettled weather passes. On Thursday afternoon we will begin a long trip up the 'Tongue of the Ocean', through the Northwest Channel, across the 'Bank, and then finally across the Gulf Stream to Miami. The trip will take a around 24 hours of non-stop travel.
