Rachel's Bubble Bath - 6 Mar


 

   This morning we are moving over to anchor outside the Cambridge Cay mooring field, then dinghy over to Compass Cay to see Rachel's Bubble Bath where the Exuma Sound waves crash onto the rocky shore and bubble over a narrow pass into a pool, with lots of bubbles just like sitting in a hot tub.

   Hopefully the conditions will be favorable.


   You land your dinghy on a sandy beach area, then have to walk a few hundred yards up a sandy creek to the bubble bath. We're ready for a fun day.


   Its not that windy and rough today but there are still plenty of bubbles to play in. This spot can actually get a bit dangerous when the seas are raging. When we were here years ago there were strong currents and undertows. Today it was a comfortable bubbly sauna. 



   It was a very enjoyable time. I'm glad we made the effort to come over here. 

   Then it was time to head back to the boat and move on down the coast to Big Majors.


   Walking back down the stream we found a pool with several immature conch. Sue found one pretty conch shell that had no inhabitant, so added it to the collection. The others we set back to grow up and get eaten next year. 



   By now, Jackson has got the hang of the instruments and sailing routine. He drove us the 3hr trip down to Big Majors.
