9/15 to 9/18 Arrived about 1:30 & took mooring 16. We’re virtually alone here. This is the headquarters of the Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park (Bahamas National Trust) Gorgeous as ever…the weather & water temp is perfect. This is the reconstructed skeleton of a whale washed ashore at Norman’s many years ago. I’d like to make a comment about the pictures I take. I use Picasa 3, a free downloadable program, love it & have used it for years. Basically, the only tools I use is ‘crop’, ‘straighten‘, ‘contrast’ & occasionally, ‘sharpen’…I do not enhance the colors. Sometimes, as in this picture of the sailboat in the harbor, I use my sunglasses as a filter. But Picasa has a multitude of other tools. Nuff said… We snorkeled in Ranger’s reef next to the boat. Unfortunately, my underwater camera is being finicky so I don’t have a picture of 
some of the biggest lobster we’ve ever seen. We actually didn’t do too much even though there are many reefs to snorkel & ruins from the Loyalists. The ranger station is interesting, informative & has a book exchange. I donated “The Winner” by Baldachi & picked up a Patricia Cornwell book. Gotta admit, we were just plain lazy. We read for the first time in a long time & I taught Wayne how to play my favorite casino card game - Let It Ride - he’s hooked & he doesn’t even like to play cards. Late in the
afternoon the dogs started barking & howling at the water, Scupper dashing all around the decks & peering down the haws-pipes…what the heck?? This friendly little nurse shark, maybe a 4 footer, came by for a visit & stayed till sunset. And what a magnificent sunset it was. (I didn’t use sunglasses to filter)
