A frontal passage is predicted for Saturday, bringing rain (first time in over a month) and strong winds (gusts in the 30+ knot range) so we need to keep moving south to an anchorage that is well protected from the “norther,” as these storms are called in local weather parlance. We also are in need of a place to properly dispose of our garbage and pick up some gasoline for the dinghy.I’m especially looking forward to better WiFi and fresh produce.
So today we headed about 10 miles to Cambridge Cay, also part of the Park. The 14 moorings are first come, first served. Folks from around the world volunteer to live there on their boats for month, helping visitors to tie up to the mooring balls, handing out a map of recommended snorkeling spots, and collecting fees for the Park.
On the way to Cambridge Cay, we spied a ginormous motor yacht in the distance.
It dwarfed the surrounding islands and seemed way out of proportion to everything else in sight. Using our AIS (Automated Identification System) David was able to peg it as Ulysses, a 381-foot super yacht. Rumor has it that Mark Zuckerberg bought it for $150,000,000 (give or take a few mil) in 2018 but that story has since been debunked by both Facebook and Zuckerberg. I’ve decided to believe the fake news and pretend that it is indeed my FB friend Mark and his family on vacation. Makes for a better story. And hopefully, if we can get close enough, his WiFi will be awesome.
The Park volunteers who welcomed us to Cambridge Cay were Lisa and her husband from Newport, RI on their motor vessel, Privateer. They live on it year round, traveling back and forth to New England. Hmm, not a bad plan....
Our excursion for the day was to the most appropriately named Sea Aquarium where we spent much of the afternoon. We’ve snorkeled all over the Caribbean during our charters over the past 20 years but have never jumped into the water to be immediately surrounded by hundreds of fish of all varieties, shapes, and sizes. It was spectacular!!
I forgot to tell you that the other famous person who vacations next to Cambridge Key is none other than Capt. Jack Sparrow! Yup, Johnny Depp owns Little Hall’s Pond Cay, a 45-acre treasure.
Here’s how Capt. Jack describes the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, “I don’t think I’d ever seen any place so pure and beautiful. You can feel your pulse rate drop about 20 beats. It’s instant freedom. And that rare beast—simplicity— can be had.”
I agree.
Is that last picture Johnny Dep’s place???
ReplyDeleteYes- quite the little place by the water!
