Christmas at Warderick Wells Cay

Jay is all dressed up in his party shirt and preparing the dinghy to visit the Park Warden's residence for Christmas Day Pot Luck dinner. He is pumping some air into the inflatable tubes of the dinghy.  Park Warden Henry turned out to be also quite a chef.  It is a Thanksgiving and Christmas tradition that he prepares chicken, turkey, ham, and mac & cheese for the boaters who are visiting the Park's moorings. We enjoyed talking with the other boaters.  Although boaters brought pot luck dishes, Warden Henry filled everyone up. It was a very thoughtful tradition we all appreciated and enjoyed.           
Monday we walked the many hiking trails on Warderick Wells Cay that go along the ocean and back along the Exuma Bank beaches. Along the way we found a piece of bamboo driftwood on the beach to carve Priority's name on . We hiked back up Boo Boo Hill Trail overlooking the Ocean and added it to the collection of other visiting boat plaques. The Park says to take photos and memories but only leave behind your footprints and your driftwood boat plaque. It was fun to look at all the different plaques left over many years of visitors.
