April 15 - 22, 2017 Munjack Cay part one


the winds are now going to be east for the next week, so we headed back up to Munjack Cay
and took a walk to the other side of the island, the path is one mile long, winding around and around, thru Poison Wood trees and some marshy area


it was a hot day, but the No Seeums are not around


finally the beach


and we are once again the only walkers, we found some Sea Beans


in one area where the beach is narrow, a lot of trees have been up rooted during storms
we figured we walked about 5 miles today


the next day back at the boat we decided to do some
house keeping and sort out our first aid kit and medicine cabinet, we are getting organized to head back home, we also had to wait for high tide to do the dinghy drift up a creek


between Munjack Cay and Crab Cay is a creek/river, it is about 200 feet at the mouth and
gets shallow and narrow


the tide was coming in and just about high tide, so we shut off the motor and
drifted, this way you see more of the wildlife
on the way in we counted 25 sea turtles from 1 ft to 3 ft 


and the water gets green and the mangroves take over the creek


on one of the side paths we come across some boats at a dock, we are sure that they can't leave until
extreme high tides, and the mangroves are taking over all the side paths


because these Cays are so close together, there are many beaches to walk


one of the land crabs, trying to hide on us … he needs to work better on his hide away


a walk around to the ocean side




this year we have been seeing a lot of bamboo in shore, not to sure where it is coming from


some ancient trees








 I made Cracked Conch, for a snack .. so good


another few days have come to a close ….forest fires still burning
