Cambridge Cay, Exumas - January 2012


We left Highborne Cay on a sail down to Cambridge Cay – our original destination the day before.  Everything was working on the boat again (except for a ground short in the AC panel – something for later).  We had a good sail down to Cambridge, and tried a little fishing along the way.  We had a lot of strikes, but only got one fish out of six strikes, and lost four lures – not a good fishing day. But the keeper was a Mahi that made a good dinner that night.  We anchored that night behind Cambridge Cay, with a strong current.  This was in the southern part of the Exumas Land and Sea Park, which is a  protected area for sea life, so great great snorkeling is plentiful. That night a front came through with winds of over 30 knots.  It was supposed to last most of the next day, so after riding out a windy night, we moved to a mooring the next day.  That afternoon, we moved on to Little Halls Pond Cay (owned by Johnny Depp), and snorkled the “aquarium”.  Since this was our last night with Sandy and Rankin aboard Gypsy Heart, we went over for a good dinner and rousing game of dominos.
