St Francis Resort Great Exuma

About 40 miles south of Paradise Island and an hour boat ride via IslandWorld Adventures..... we reached Saddleback Cay, a part of Exuma Islands. This is another out island adventure ..... i will say the best so far I had from Nassau.<br><br>Lemon shark feeding shoreside in a ...

On our way to the island tour, we were welcomed by a friendly stingray and gave us the experience of being suctioned by its mouth as we tried to feed him. But then, he realized that we don't have any food for him so eventually, he left but gave us the knowledge of not fearing them. They are gentle creatures of the sea.

A different kind of experience... feeding shark in broad daylight.....shoreside.....<br><br>Free port has one at Pier One, but you are like so high above the waters and in the evening. So all you are seeing are but splashes made by the shark as they feed. <br><br>Here, you will see the entire length of the shark under the very crystal clear waters, just one meter high.<br><br>

... case bread and feed it to them. Then a frenzy begins, in which the fish swarm you in search of goodies, the odd finger or body part might get involved in it, but no blood is drawn..... We also had the pleasure of dining at the yacht club where most of us had the Bahamian favourite, Conch Burger which comes in small battered pieces and tastes similar to calamari. Very Yummy. Much to Tom and Harri's disappointment this is where O'Vive left us to head for home, their company sorley missed.

... floor of the dinghy with my feet in the air as I slid towards Pete who between fits of laughter was dodging waves and the oncoming regatta sailors in the middle of a race. As these small sailboats with about ten crew on onboard, looked at the strange shrieking coming from the dinghy and a pair of legs scrambling in the air. Not my finest hour, in fact Pete says it reminded him of my mum screeching "Richard" at my dad as he put her through the similar torments. Must be genetic ...

... it's really that way here. There are coralian islands sot hey are a lot more rocky and rough than we can imagine at first. Well, the good point about that is the opportunities to snorkel !! What a great feeling to do so here in one of the best places around the world. On the way, the winds changed for the first time and became western winds instead of the normal trade winds. Important change when it comes to navigate there ...

... wore formal attire again. The girls went to dinner on our regular rotation and Nikki and I had reservations at Palo. We had arranged to eat with Scott and Cheryl. It was a very nice evening and the food was delicious! The show was Disney Dreams. Regan and Kelsie went on time and we went after dinner. Nikki got to see the new scenes. Then it was back to the room for Kelsie, Nikki and I and Regan went to the Stack for Homecoming. Tomorrow is our Day at Castaway Cay.

... on a secluded, 3 mile beach which extends to Alligator Point. Pigeon Creek is a large salt water inlet which is behind the house and runs parallel to the beach. Pigeon Creek opens to the sea at Alligator Point and provides for exceptional kayaking in calm waters. You can kayak from behind the Boathouse, out to the sea at Alligator Point, &amp; then back to our ...

Hello again from Staniel Cay in the central Exumas! We arrived here four days ago, and since then have been visiting with our parents and Granny. They decided to join us down here for a quick stay and get a taste of the island life. Since the last report from Highborne, we have been sailing south and stopping at many of the small Exumas islands on the way to Staniel. First stop was at Hawksbill Cay, which provided a wonderfull ...
