| Sting Ray by our boat at Compass Cay |
Wow what a day today, Yesterday we spent half the day looking for jeep reef, which we never found. It supposedly one of the better reefs to dive down here according to AquaCat a diving catamaran that runs tours. We moved down to Compas Cay and anchored out in 8 feet of water. The half moon was so bright that I would swear we were sitting on the bottom as the water is so crystal clear.

Mid morning we headed south with the dingy to Staniel Cay and snorkeled in the Groto where the James Bond movie Thunderball was shot. Very cool !!!
Lunch was at Compass Cay Marina (burger and a beer). The highlight was swimming with about 20 nurse sharks after lunch. I am glad they didn't mistake some of my toes for their lunch.
Late afternoon we headed out to sea for the 17 nm trip down to the town of Black Point. This is the first real sign of any population since Nassau. They have street lights and hydro poles here.
Loaded the bikes in the dingy and headed into town for some needed exercise.
