Dinkin' round Don't Rock




Today provided us with some photos that made it difficult to choose which one I'd imbed. So instead of going for lots of content I went with this one. Every where we went in the dink today it was like we were suspended in a perfectly maintained pool of crystal clear fresh water. This particular image is looking South East towards the Southern tip of Whale Cay with Guana Cay off in the distance.

The dink ride today took us out to Sand Bank Cay where we did some shelling. This was a great stop and just south of the rumb line around the Don't Rock passage. In fact several center consoles zipped by while we were walking around on the Cay. But Freedom will never see this route going back North. While high tide might provide safe passage, I'm thinking no way. It's too risky. We saw a catamaran hung up using the route on the lee of Whale Cay when we got out there. They were smart enough to try it on a rising tide and so it was not long before they were under way again. Given the conditions at the Whale I wonder why they bothered to cut it short and use the inside route. I hope we have conditions like this when we come back around the Whale.

So we spent some time at Whale Cay and it was great but we could not find a path to the Atlantic side. Perhaps another day. From here we went over to Don't Rock and this shot was taken as we left Whale Cay. After having a look at the rock in the middle of no where, we shot back to the marina and took a dive in the pool.

Life's tough. Hope it stays that way. Don't Rock is the first image, and the second is the shot of leaving Whale Cay.
