After a January spent mostly hiding from cold fronts, February was perfect Bahamas winter weather. Winds from the ENE-E-ESE all month. Mostly 10-15 knots with a few days of 20-25. Nothing with a W in it. This makes for comfortable cruising on the Exumas bank and provides plenty of anchorages.
This weather makes kayaking, hiking and snorkeling, our usual pastimes, fun and easy. We bought two kayaks at West Marine before we left the states. They have turned out to be excellent. Comfortable, good tracking and decently made for mid-priced boats. We kayak most every day that we can.
Hiking on the islands is Lisa’s favorite activity. I join her for the easy trails. This photo was taken by her
taken from atop Cambridge Cay.
We try and snorkel whenever we can, and I continue to try my hand at under water photography. I am terrible at it. My excuse is that my eyesight without my glasses is so bad that i can’t see the view finder.So I dive and guess at what I am seeing. Sometimes I catch a fish in the lens by accident. When Evan and Grayson were with us they chased a lobster for an hour or so before spearing him. Made for a nice appetizer.
