Jill and I are leaving tonight to explore the Exuma Cays in a 21 foot open hulled sail boat known as a sea pearl. It has two masts, two sails, no motor and is prized for island exportation because of its ability to sail in extremely shallow water. There are more than 360 islands in the Exumas, many of which are uninhabited. We will be camping along the way and have all of our gear all packed up and ready to go. I'm pretty far out of my element on this one and have no idea what to expect, but Jill and have been doing our homework, are properly prepared and are ready for the unexpected. The tools have been fun to get ready, solar panels, charts, compass, rope, knife, spear...they are all so different from the things we use in the mountains. About the only thing in common are the gallons of sunscreen and the huge dose of respect for mother nature. Should be back on about the 18th or 19th.
These are just pictures from the internet, but they give you an idea of why we wanted to go here.
