Exumas National Park, Warderwick Wells









Wardewick Wells is the headquarters of the Exumas National Park. The park is the world's first land AND sea conservatory and is the pride of the Bahamas. We were lucky enough to get a mooring ball "inside" which is one of the most amazing places on earth. There is every shade of light blue within sight and it changes every day. Manta rays, sharks, and barracuda are in abundance. We did not snorkel as it was cold and the current runs hard. We did hike a good bit and dingy about. The island cay is crisscrossed with nature trails. This is esp. good since most of the Bahamas is private and hiking a problem except on roads.

I was pressed into service for one day. I repaired lacerated fingers caused by an anchoring accident. The patient was a wonderful lady, and I am hoping for a good result. I did use every bit of suture material available at the park. All of the medical kit is donated from passing yachts. Any donations to the park of medical supplies would be appreciated.

We left on a weather before the wind turned into the SE. If we did not want to get to Georgetown, we could have stayed a month.
