Exumas adventure

We left Nassau at the beginning of march and sailed to Allen's key, then to shroud key and then to hawksbill key! Next was Wadrick wells the hq for the Exumas land and sea park, the national park of the Bahamas. We then sailed south to Staniel key home of the swimming pigs and thunderball grotto, made famous by the james bond movie. Next came black point key, home to a thriving Bahamian settlement.
