We've been here at Blackpoint for just over 2 weeks now, not completely by choice - the weather has kept us restricted to the lee side of the Exuma chain, but this is a nice place to sit for awhile with wifi, water and reasonably priced stores, plus good protection from easterly winds.
We try to get ashore each day for some exploring. There are some spectacular views of both the ocean side and bank side with great ocean colors.
Here's a photo of the "castle" on the bank side from our anchorage area.
One of the neat sights is the blowhole on the ocean side. When the surf is up (as it was most days of our visit) the waves push through and underground cave and shoot spray and sometimes white water out the blowhole, just like a geyser. Sue braved the saltwater shower to pick for shells blow up through the hole.
Blackpoint is the second largest Bahamian town in the Exumas and provided an opportunity for Genny to perform some "dog therapy" services for some children in reading tutoring programs. Hopefully she will get to repeat this today as the boys have been asking about her when we see them in town. Also, due to the weather, Genny hasn't been ashore in a week so she will be excited to go.
