April 8 - 10, 2017 Powell Cay


after the winds died down we headed to Munjack Cay to visit Wingspread
…we had to anchor three different times and every time dragged in the turtle grass,
finally we switched to our fortress and dug in the first try
Wingspread came over for happy hour which turned into a supper for both of us.




the forest fires are still burning


the next day we sailed to Powell Cay for 4 nights, with east winds, blowing 20 - 25 knots
the holding is good here, mostly sand


the ocean beach goes on for miles and we walked to the right


found some unusual shells


Sea Biscuit


and Jack on Valentine found a sea turtle skull




our beach walk treasures


another good day in the Bahamas




the next day we decided to take a 20 minute hike to another ocean beach 


take the walk with us




we went up a hill first then down into a marshy area










finally the beach


as usual we are the only walkers today




what marks the trail is flip flops, floats, shells


water bottles


where are you Joe


and the hard hat marks the Poison Wood tree … don't touch


Powell Cay has 5 beaches, here is another one


we figured it was time to clean the bottom of the dinghy


Joe and I went to every boat in the anchorage and invited them to a bone fire
and Happy Hour … 


out of the 10 boats at anchor .. 8 couples came to shore






my days treasures


and Diane from Valentine gave me her stash of chocolate … so good
