No pictures today, but we moved a coiuploe of miles to a different anchorage. The Cat Cay spot got pretty rolly so we moved behind, on the east side of Gun Cay. This is actually the windward side and there was a little chop, but no swell, so much more comfortable. We didn't take pictures because we swam to the beach rather than use the dinghy. Saw a bunch of barracuda, and then walked the beach north and south. It is all limestone and coral aggegate. Really rough sharp jagged walking substrate. But got a hike in and on the north side, the shallows were loaded with sting rays. We walked out among them and Cindy petted them, they are pretty social, or looking for a handout? Found a perfectly good Hanson Diveskin on the beach that had washed up. Kind of like the Bahamas thriftstore. Al'so saw some birds which have been a little scant since leaving Florida. Plovers, a cormorant and a night heron we had not seen before. Today we are going to attempt again to cross the bank. The weather looks favorable but not perfect. After our experience the other day, we are a little anxious, but know that we can always turn back agian if we have to. One thing that I haven't mentioned is the temp. it has been delightful. Not hot as I expected but upper 70's-80, and nights lower 70's. We have not used the AC once.
