Cruiser's Sundowner Beach - 1 Apr

   

   At the other end of the beach from Pig Beach is a sandy area known as Cruiser's Sundowner Beach. We went over to check out the beach during the day and then that night met up with several cruisers for a drink and view of the sunset.


   Standard custom is to make some kind of sign or "art" object to decorate the beach "yacht club" and record your visit. We didn't have much time to collect a suitable object to deposit this trip so we just viewed the others.


   The beach really is one of the prettiest in the Bahamas. If it wasn't so close to the crowds of tourists from Nassau that have spread this far down the Exumas it would be perfect. 


   What's not to love about cruising the Bahamas.  The weather has settled down to tradewinds conditions - sunny and 72 degrees every day.


    That evening we joined several other crews and watched the sun setting behind the big clouds that rise over Andros Island. 

   That's one disadvantage of the Exumas in that it's nearly impossible to observe a green flash at sunset because the horizon is almost always filled with clouds above Andros. Have to go to the Ragged Islands for green flashes.
