Well, well, well

We traveled south to the Exhuma Park Headquarters in Warderick Wells.  Here, we hand fed birds, hiked to ruins from the settlement in 1760, went to the "blowholes", saw a whale skeleton, visited a genuine pirate encampment complete with fire pit and a freshwater well and, of course went snorkeling.  We stayed for several days and still feel we would like to go back and explore more. 
 
Here are the pictures of Warderick Wells
Our next stop took us just south of the Park to Compass Cay.  Alyson had read  many good things about this little island so we were eager to check it out.  Compass Cay is known to have one of the prettiest beaches in the Exhumas.  After seeing it, I can hardly argue.  It's greatest claim to fame, however, is the many pet sharks that stay in the marina.  You can feed them, swim with them and pet them.  They even get on the dock during high tide!
 
I know its hard to believe but see for yourself!
