Lucaya Waterway 26◦36'.075N 078◦37'.464W



Well the weather gods gave us a bit of an opening today and we made our way down the Lucaya Waterway. This is a man made canal that effectively cuts the island of Grand Bahamas in two. 
The main water way has several smaller canals as offshoots which of course increases the water front properties available for sale. It would not be difficult to convince me to purchase such a property. This area is quite nice, however the canal's turbulent waters decrease the clarity of the water. Now you can only see the bottom at 9 feet of depth instead of the usual 40 feet. In any event our next trip has us going through open waters again and this would be for two days in a row. Tomorrow is supposed to be quite heavy winds, up to 38 miles per hour, so we will remain in our secluded little spot for one more day. The spot we are in tonight is actually very wooded and Jim ended up having to trim a few branches that were rubbing on the boat sides. 

I had to put on a heavy coat of bug repellent because of those pesky little no-see-ums. Tomorrow we will likely go investigate some of the properties along the route via dinghy. In the mean time let me leave you with this gorgeous sunset. Night all. 


PS. No Brenda I did not partake of any Limbo lessons. This body only bends one way and even that is questionable some times. lol
