Exuma Land & Sea Park - Warderick Wells

The Exuma Land and Sea Park is a set of multiple islands along a 22 mile stretch, where there are wonderful anchorages, remote bays and fabulous beaches. We got a mooring ball at Warderick Wells and did a lot of snorkeling, grilling, hiking and stargazing.  Boo Boo Hill is a high point on the island where people leave remembrance signs. 

Norman Cay

Dive pictures of the sunken plane in the cove by Norman Cay.  Norman’s Cay was used as a stopping point for drug transportation between Colombia and the US in the late 70’s and early 80’s. The operation was headed by Carlos Lehder of the Medellin Cartel.  The plane is a remaining relic of the era and the stories of how the plane crashed vary but there is a book you can read and of course Google will give it's opinion on the crash.  Anyway we snorkeled the site several times.  With the clear water and growing coral and fish, it was a super fun site. 

As we were anchored in the bay, we took the dinghy around to the Bank side of the island to MacDuffs for a great dinner.  The ride home was a bit darker and harder to navigate than we thought.  Could have stayed here for a lot longer but again the winds are changing so we have to move to find a safe harbor.
