A restful night sleep was had by all …
We had a couple of bottlenose dolphin sightings this morning … hard to see as the wind speed climbed past 25 mph, but the dolphins were leaping and diving for extended time periods (2-4 min.). We thought the dolphins were feeding because they stopped over the area that we found lobster last night. Maybe the dolphins were having a 'ritzy' breakfast? We took the dinghy over to Sandy Cay and explored the island for about 90 minutes. There were lots of old conch shells all around and a sandy spit to the north of the island. Numerous palm trees and a few pines gave the island her own voice … very soothing. We hauled anchor at about noon and headed south for port. We stopped at Paradise Cove for some snorkeling along one of the more healthy reefs around Grand Bahama Island. Saw cuttlefish, parrot fish, sting rays, and numerous other tropical fish. John took several minutes of video. Cheers Kathleen
