Long Island - South Side

Tuesday we took a drive South on the island. Here are some of the photos we took of this area.


Cute well-decorated home we found on the island


This is called "White Cliffs" on the charts, but the locals it "Chimney Rock."

Manmade tidal pool


This is a Bahamian racing sloop under construction

Wednesday we moved the boat to a different anchorage shown on the charts whcih looked like there would be some reefs and areas where Jim could explore for spear fishing. However, the charts lied, we were not able to find a sandy bottom in which to anchor safely, so we left and headed back to Thompson Bay where we anchored. Will have more photos later of when Jim caught a nurse shark! (This was an exciting catch, but not good fish to eat, so it was let go.)
