Cambridge Cay, Exumas

About the pics: The yacht pictured here is called Freedom, it's Trumphy and boy was it magnificent! The picture of the boats at anchor, we are in the center of the picture.

Life aboard TRIUMPH is very relaxing, and simple. Simple, that’s what makes it so relaxing I suppose. How does life back home get so complex and stressful anyway? Here, we watch the weather, and make plans for our next anchorage. There isn’t a lot of planning beyond this.

Our days usually involve a morning hike around a nearby island, and an afternoon snorkeling expedition. We see all kinds of beautiful scenery and wildlife. Mostly “fish” wildlife, but we did see a few Hutia the other day. Yesterday we dinghyed over to a nearby island that had two very impressive caves for snorkeling. There were very nice reefs around this area and they were full of tropical fish. The snorkeling was terrific. The day before, we went over near some private islands near Soldier Cay. One island had very nice sandy beaches complete with beach lounges and umbrellas, and, security cameras on every beach. There is another nearby island, Bell Island, that we are told belongs to a Saudi Prince. So... some places are very accessible, others not so much.

Last night we had dinner aboard our friends’ boat, Awesome Asset. Earlier we had talked about a pizza party, and together, we came up with all of the ingredients for a great pizza dinner. Lori had a special surprise for Elaine, a tossed salad. We were out of lettuce on our boat, so it was very nice of Lori to share her produce with` us. The grocery store is still a few days away.

Our next consideration is what to do for St Patrick’s Day. We’re hoping to find a boat with an Irish name who is looking to throw a party. Say tuned.
