June 9-10, 2014
We left the pigs and sharks for a more docile
surrounding in Hawksbill Cay. It is a
gorgeous island with an amazing beach.
The trip to Hawksbill didn’t take long, a couple of hours, but with no
wind we had to motor most of the way.
When we anchored in Hawksbill Cay it was warm, to say the least, and
Daniel put up the sunshade for us. It really cooled things off on the boat. He relaxed in his hammock for the afternoon
underneath the sunshade and I took D-Time to shore. I enjoy walking beaches and looking for
shells and this was a really nice white sandy beach to walk. I walked the mile long beach and didn’t find
a single shell. I also didn’t find
another human being, so it was worth the walk.
I really enjoyed putting my footprints on the pristine beach. We had planned to walk the island the next
morning, I had found a trail, but the weather forecast was calling for “squalls”
and so we took off to towards Nassau to get ahead of them towards.
We made the 7 hours of the 8 hour trip
avoiding the squalls and then one caught up with us. Daniel said the winds were coming at us at
20-25 knots and we had a lot of lightening and rain. We slowed down and let the storm pass
us. We pulled into the harbor at Nassau
in a light rain and dropped anchor, right across from Paradise Island and the Atlantis
Resort. Right in front of us, less than
a ½ mile away sat 4 huge cruise ships in port for the day. Nice views!
