Testing, 1,2,3 ...from the iPad

We are back home now,  but I'm trying to experiment with sending a blog post from the iPad.  My camera did not recover from its last submersion, so I downloaded some of George's camera.  If this works, you'll see some of them.

While we were anchored at Emerald Rock, we visited the coral head site where we had seen so many lobsters last year.  No lobsters this time, but George went in hot pursuit of a pair of Eagle Rays and got a great picture of one of them.  He had a remora hovering under his right "wing".

We were treated to several wonderful sunsets and Lisa and I managed to use a screw driver and winch handle (there was an amazing lack of any tools on a charter boat)  and nail file to knock the top off a conch shell we had found on the beach in The Majors to fashion a conch horn.  We were successful and were able to herald the closing of another wonderful day.

Our last day was spent at the new departure building of Nassau's airport.  It offered 4G  and free wifi and lots of shops and eateries.

It's Sunday and we're still at Emerald Rock in Exuma Park. We took a dinghy ride yesterday to the southeast side of Warderick Wells to check out the Pirate's Lair. No pirates, but a curly tailed lizard took a shine to Dan's shoe


We were surprised at the size of our dinghy, it's an 8 passenger beast, but it is a very comfortable ride.


After lunch aboard we headed into the park office to sign up for another day of wi-fi and took a hike up to BooBoo Hill. Sadly the sign we put there last year was not to be found.


The weekly Saturday night beach party last night was well attended, including at least three Hutias. The Hutia is a Bahamian native rodent that is on the endangered list, but they seemed to like a good party!


We are planning to head out in an hour or so on our way back north. We plan to spend tonight at Shroud Cay and then Highborne Cay on Monday night. Not likely to have wi-fi, so the next post will probably be from Nassau when we return there Tuesday. ~~~_/)~~~M&D,L&G
