| IP 38 Moondance and IP 32 Morning Grace at Boo Boo Hill |
Why leave Warderick Wells? Why move on? Why not stay? Well, that is what we are saying, and staying we are. We will play here one more day to snorkel and hike and visit and relax with zero worries and safe living on a secure mooring ball in a safe harbor. Tough to beat for $15 per night and $15 for 100 megs of satellite Internet connectivity. Today we placed our name board on top of Boo Boo Hill, a cruiser tradition, Thanks to Dixey of IP32 MORNING GRACE, who carved and painted a cool custom made board.We know, we know, it is supposed to be drift wood, so we drifted this board in the water and it became drift wood!

After our hike to the hill and the overlook, we hit the reef and went snorkeling again seeing giant lobsters, Nassau Grouper, and beautiful live coral. We baked two more loaves of bread to give a way, one loaf to a smaller boat with a young couple aboard and one loaf for the park office staff. They told me they have not had bread for two weeks so they were very happy to have a fresh baked loaf. What a joy to share. After swimming and enjoying the beach right off our beam about 100 yards, we used our solar shower which made the water almost too hot to take a shower. I am guessing the water was 110 degrees at least. The evening was shared on our boat buddies boat, IP32, Morning Grace where Dixey and Julie hosted us for a very fun night of stories and visits. As it is said so many times about cruising, it is the people you meet while our cruising that make it so memorable. Add great people to a great location like this and you have a wonderful adventure!

Wow. What great photos and what a perfect day.
Only one thing would make it better… if we were there!
I love the photos in the water. To say that water was bathtub clear is an insult. Just beautiful.
Move on?? Why move on? I think you found the perfect away from town anchorage. It looks just unimaginable.
Ummmm,is that the oatmeal bread I smell?
We loved Warderick Wells too.
