We left the
very upscale resort-like marina at Emerald Bay today – having enjoyed the clean
hot showers, the beautiful clubhouse, the free laundry room, and the near-by
use of the gorgeous Grand Isle resort facilities – gourmet restaurant, infinity
pool, beautiful powdery ocean beach, etc.
We even
took a long walk and ended up on a self-guided tour of Sandals Resort – the
pics below will tell the story.
Then we
went from the 360-degree protection of the marina harbour to the very rolly
waters of Exuma Sound for a two-hour trip to Rat Cay (no rats involved J). This is totally opposite to what
we had experienced in Emerald Bay – remote, open turquoise water on the Exuma
Bank – only two other boats in sight. There are no services at all – we need to
be completely self-sufficient here. But it’s just as gorgeous in its own way.
Even the weather contrasted from a glorious sunny day this afternoon, to a dark
stormy sky, resulting in a steady downpour at dinner-time, just after I blew my
conch to the setting sun. As I write this, the only sound I hear now is the
gentle lapping of the nearly still water against our little dinghy, tied up to
Sea Change.
We’ll spend
the next couple of days here, until we run out of supplies – then off to
explore new places. This is so great!
