We stayed at Hawksbill for one more day to explore this beautiful Cay. September Song and Gypsies in the Palace took the family cars as Norm from Tide Hiker calls them, AKA Half Note and Hobos, that's the name of Doug and Tammy's family car, and explored Smugglers Cave and the North beach on Hawksbill. The cave was way cool but as you can see from the pictures, it is tough to land a tender. The North beach is the largest we have seen in the Bahamas so far with lots of shells and interesting things to pick up, look at, and put back down. The Rule, because we are still in the park boundaries, is "Take nothing but Photographs...Leave nothing but footprints. I sure would like to take some of the grouper, lobster and conch I have seen diving. We walked the beach for a couple of hours and only covered about 25% of it. What a magnificent place as you can see from the pictures. After we got back I took Half Note out with the looky bucket, AKA Bahamian TV, and explored some of the coral heads in the area. This is a great way to view the underwater life without getting wet. Tomorrow morning We are heading for Shroud Cay which is another uninhabited cay that serves as a nursery for conch, lobster, sea turtles, birds, and many varieties of fish. Sanctuary Creek runs through the middle of the Cay and on both sides are huge mangrove fields. they say it reminds you of the classic Movie "African Queen". All this exploring, I need a nap. See you at Shroud.
September Song (ZZZZZZZZ) out and out
