Nassau to Shroud Cay Exumas

The NE winds blowing 15 knots pushed Juno along over the shallow banks and coral heads at 8 knots per hour. After one five-hour long port tack, we arrived at Shroud Cay just before high tide and wasted no time deploying the dinghy so that we could head up the shallow river through the mangroves to the eastern side of the cay.  Once there, we enjoyed riding the incoming tide into the mouth of the mangrove river catching eddies that carried back out to sea and spun us round again much like being on a merry-go-round.  We saw several turtles in the river on our return to Juno,  It’s great being back in the Exumas with turquoise water and a sandy bottom and so happy to share the beauty of this place with Sally.
