Post a Comment On: Christina Sea

Day 30 - 33, Warderick Wells Cay - great place!  You must take a mooring, which means the park has "permanent anchor balls" that you tie your boat up to - kind of like a hitching post.  They are very secure and it's nice knowing that your anchor isn't going to drag or someone else's is either.  The island had lots of great trails, beaches, snorkeling spots (lots of Go Pro videos will be posted when we get to free wifi - probably back in the states), and such friendly park ranger staff!  The entire park is a "no take zone".  So any shells, critters, rocks, sand - dead or alive - you are to leave alone.  Take only pictures and leave only footprints!

[Image] We've seen lots of rock piles marking trails and where people have been...

[Image] I haven't tired yet of all the beautiful views
[Image] Yes, we actually swam with the nurse shark - videos for that later.  But each night he would come to visit.
[Image] I'm getting awfully fond of sharks - at least the nurse shark variety
[Image] George and his buddies - Andy and Byron were both former military, so everyone had lots of stories to share!
