Wow. How to sum up last 6 days? Magical. Anchored off an isolated, uninhabited National Park island with nothing but crystal clear water, endless beaches on every coastline and dramatic white cliffs. Dolphins visiting in the anchorage to snorkel with, long hot sunny days to swim, paddle board, walk the beach. Mangrove creeks to explore with turtles, conch, stingrays, juvenile sharks. Enjoyed some really good family time in the quietness of Conception and also made some new good friends – one boat at a time. We had a few mornings of school, one rainy afternoon with lots of family game time. We tried out 3 different anchorages for variety – we loved West Bay the most with it’s incredibly long white sandy beach. We saw at least 3 “Green flashes” at sunset and so enjoyed the full moon rising and lighting up the ocean floor. I could have stayed forever! Now we’re back in “civilization” at Calabash Bay on the isolated north end of Long island, including cell service and all that goes along with being “connected” again. It was wonderful taking a break – I don’t think I even picked up my cell phone once in Conception – there was no need to use it for anything! Amazing the peace that brings to the body and mind.
So many photos to edit. Here’s a few. Maybe we’ll get time to edit some more in coming days.
