Fourth Visit to Exuma Park

 Bridge on Hutia Trail.  

White Pepper at the Emerald Rock Anchorage

Study in Blue

A different look at Boo Boo Hill.  Boats leave souvenir here until the next hurricane blows them away.

The North anchorage has appeared on many  postcards.

Jan looks out on the Hog Cay Anchorage.  See our post about the pirates lair from 2011.

Remains of the Davis Plantation.  Imagine the hardships for slave and master alike.

This was White Pepper's fourth visit to Exuma Land and Sea Park.  It is the crown jewel of the Exuma Chain and indeed all of the Bahamas.  I have little to add to previous posts and will let the exquisite scenery speak for itself.  Just a few notes:  Texans will recognize hutias as nutrias--small rodents..  These are the only mammals in the park.  The Davis Plantation is a few stone ruins that mark an unsuccessful attempts by a loyalist cotton farmer to settle the land around the time of the American Revolution.

We had to divert to the Emerald Rock Anchorage due to transmission problems.  Emerald Rock is open and beautiful.  It does roll when the wind is anything further clockwise then SE.  The transmission may need to be replaced.  It also prevented us from trying the Hog Cay and Cambridge Anchorages which were on the agenda for this year.
