Cookie Cabanas Cat Island

... with it like the tides being pulled by the moon&#8217;s gravity. I&#8217;d be swimming across the pool at a constant pace, but my progress would vary from a standstill to speeding forward. It was weirdly fun!<br><br>Anyway, we&#8217;re back in our rooms now and the boat is rocking again making this hard to keep up. We have to be up a little earlier than today tomorrow as we land at our first port, Labadee, tomorrow. Zip lines and Aqua park, here we come!<br><br>Adelle

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>

We had the pleasure of sailing for a few days with some new friends on another cat "O'VIVE" and with their local knowledge, managed to anchor on a spotless sandbank right outside the famous Thunderball Cave at Staniel Cay. We had no idea what this was all about but many people we met told us to come here to have a look at this cave. So for a bit of background, they made a James Bond movie in 1964 (well before my time) called Thunderball. The Staniel Cay Yacht Club has photos of a very ...

... fact very wet, Pete removed his T-shirt just wearing boardies, I'm slightly more modest and knew that it would not be a pretty sight, me in my cossie bouncing all the way across the harbour, so I decided to remain clothed. Unfortunately knowing your about to get drenched and getting what seems like bucketfuls of water thrown over you at about one every 20 seconds are two different things. So off we set and within a minute we were saturated, by three minutes I had slipped to ...

... our way back up and dive the grotto. All the moorings were taken so we decided to pick up a slip at Staniel Cay YC Marina. Here we can get wifi and put the AC on. The slip ($2/foot), electric $30, and wifi $10, garbage $5, we're in for about $3/foot. Staniel is 1 ½ miles long and ½ mile wide. It boasts three grocery stores, The Pink Store, The Blue Store and Isles General ...

... 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 ...

Today we came to Princess Cays which is a small island, owned by Princess Cruises, off the island of Eluthera. Eluthera is 100 and odd miles long but only about 3 miles wide at it's widest. Princess Cays has a beautiful beach, and since we were last there they have develloped it quite alot to have lots of water sports options. So me n H had planned a relaxing day of sun,sea and sandto finish off our holiday. Good wife and mother that I am, I stayed on board to ...

... called Eleuthera and get away from the masses!! The flights from Miami and then Nassau were actually great, but the small planes that we boarded made me nervous, especially the thirty seater with Bahamas Air. Out of the thirty or so passengers, about half were junior school children from North Eluethera and the happy-go-lucky noise of these loveable little people helped make me feel a bit better as I stared out of the window to make sure the propellers ...
