We really enjoyed our time on Compass Cay. We spent 4 days there, and feel that we took every opportunity available to us to see it all!
We hiked around the entire perimeter, finishing the south side on Monday. The girls swam with the sharks which is the big 'touristy' highlight of the island, and we have left our boat sign hanging at the office.
On Monday night a cold front blew through bringing stronger winds and cooler temperatures. We were glad to have sought the protection of the marina, so we didn't have to worry about being at anchor. 'Cooler' in the Bahamas means about 15 degrees, which we haven't seen since the Carolinas. We all had sweaters and long pants on, and put together a nice pot of stew and fresh hot bread for dinner. We spent Wednesday evening together in our cozy boat reading and playing games.
We left yesterday on a rising tide, headed for Little Pipe Cay. Once out on the bank, we decided that the wind might make that anchorage a little rough, and as we wouldn't be swimming anyway, we might as well go somewhere familiar. We are now anchored back at Big Major Cay.
Our plan for the next couple of days is to get to Bitter Guana Cay today, the north end is a protected iguana habitat which we've heard good things about. Then we'll likely head south to Little Bay on Great Guana Cay. We'd like to be back in Black Point next week, as Greg is hoping to do some volunteer teaching at the school, which has no science teacher on staff.
The weather is supposed to be improving, so we will also soon be back enjoying the snorkeling and swimming.
