Nature In Black Point
Tropical Paradise.... So Far!
There were a group of butterflies wildly eating the flowers on the edge of the road. They were beautiful!
Take a load off :-)
The beach overlooking the harbor where we were anchored. Directly across from the calmness of the beach here, is the Atlantic side of the island, which is vastly different.
A walk about a mile to the left of the dinghy dock, there was this sign. We had heard through the grapevine about the blow hole, but were surprised by how it was!
A few hundred feet from the road, we came upon this seashore, next to the blowhole. The contrast from the Exuma Banks water was amazing.
Here is the Blow Hole! Empty of course... It was quite remarkably that the ground that surrounded the opening was more than a foot deep with this seaweed type growth. Outside of that, it was really desert like.
Thar she blows!
Just a big rock... Mathew, Paul, Andee (a friend of theirs), and the boys had a great time exploring this area.
Because the tide was coming in, the hole would blow water out about every 20 or 30 seconds. By the time we left, they were all soaked to the bone. Thank goodness that it is so sunny and warm here :-)
Up the coast a little ways, the boys found tiny little pools that were chock full of hardened salt crystals. Valin collected some for me to use in my cooking. I love fresh sea salt, it is the best :-)
