Description

Shroud Cay is one of my favorite islands in the Bahamas. It is park of the Exumas Land and Sea Park, a 22 mile protected area in the Bahamas. There are no buildings on Shroud Cay and there are a series of mangrove creeks the criss-cross through the island. This photo was taken on the eastern side of the island. The current flows through the cut and there is a small cliff that you can jump off. When you land in the cut, the current takes you into the tidal basin and swirls you around. I didn’t see anyone else during the two days I spent on the island.

My second big trip aboard my sailboat Arcturus was the winter of 2011-2012. I traveled from NC to the Bahamas and back for about four months. Dad, Jimmy James, Mike and I brought the boat down from NC to Ft. Lauderdale. Mark joined me from Ft. Lauderdale to Nassau, through the Berry Islands. I was by myself through the Exumas for about six weeks before meeting up with Bill Owens in Georgetown. Met some wonderful friends and had an incredible time for my first time out of the country onboard Arcturus.
