Well after a week of not having internet, we are at the Exuma Land-Sea Park at Warderick Wells.  ELSP was the first land-sea park in the world.  It is composed of several islands the central of which is Warderick; which houses the Park's HQs.  This place looks like a postcard of  the Bahamas at its best.   There is VERY limited connectivity here, so we are going to try and upload some photos....We plan on spending a few days here, hiking the trails, snorkeling the reefs and doing some minor maintenance to Persephone.  Today is overcast and chilly (high 60s) and we have had some sprinkles so not a good day for photography.  

Speaking of sprinkles, we have not been able to get fresh water since leaving Nassau; 8 days ago.  There is no fresh water available in the Park, so our next opportunity is a day's sail south.  We have been hoping for some rain to refill our water supply, but the wx isn't cooperating.  (Yes, we are down to collecting rain water !!  Little House on the Prairie stuff !!)  So, we will remain here until the water supply is critical; we have appx 50 gallon left onboard.....and haven't missed a daily shower, yet....)  We are also running low on Propane for cooking....so we really need some civilization to get some supplies.  On the other hand, the diesel fuel  tank in nearly full, and the the freezer well stocked.....maybe we can barter chicken for water ?

Above is Persephone exactly one year ago ! !  And here she is last week with our dinghy in the foreground and Persephone in the background :  (Ian took the pix)

And here is a picture of THE CREW on Iguana Beach with Persephone in the background......(Photo by Ian)  T and I just finished snorkeling.....Persephone doesn't like snorkeling......

And finally, here is a picture of Ian departing Norman's Cay.....he almost looks happy to be returning to civilization or getting off Persephone ??  NOT !!!

We will post some more pix from Warderick Wells.....as soon as we take some !!
