Fowl Cay

We wanted to see Rachel’s Bubble Bath and the caves at Rocky Dundas, so we took the opportunity to stay at nearby Fowl Cay, another private island that offers S-SW-W-NW protection which matched the wind prediction pretty closely. After we, and sv Godspeed, anchored, we immediately headed for R’sBB since it only ‘works’ At high tide, which was then. It’s a natural swimming hole, with a saddle cut to the Exuma Sound where the easterly waves crash through, foaming the water - as long as you have high tide and easterly waves which we lacked completely. So no bubble bath! We enjoyed it anyway.

Next stop was a tiny coral garden on the S end of Cambridge Cay, on the opposite side of side of the cut from Exuma Sound. It was pretty, with purple, yellow and brown corals, but only smaller fish.

Back across the waters to Rocky Dundas, I was able to snorkel under the overhung cliff and into the two caves that have v3y large interiors, and small overhead openings like skylights that provide all the light you need. No bats!

Back to Fowl Cay, with a short hop to the beach to see the wrecked twin engine plane that overshot the runway and was drug ashore later.Leggi altro
