Snorkeling around Emerald Rock

April 2 - Joanne & I elected to remain at Warderick Wells for another day before moving south.  The southwest wind mixed sand into the water yesterday reducing visibility. The water was much more clear today.  A short dinghy ride delivered us to Emerald Rock where we snorkeled a coral head and the rocky shore.  We found the coral in bad shape but saw a few interesting fish.

Yesterday, just outside the anchorage, we saw two giant lobsters almost hidden from view in rocks; the second evening  we were  I saw two very big lobsters walkiing across the bottom. I also saw one in the remains of a boat that burned up here in the anchorage years ago.   I also saw a lion fish - very bad as the lion fish is an invasive species that has no predators here.

We hope to move down to Cambridge Cay, also in the Exumas Land and Sea Park tomorrow.  We have a reservation the Sampson Cay Marina for Wednesday where we can get good water, fuel, fully charge our batteries and dump our garbage.
