Pics from my new underwater camera.

I went snorkeling today with my mini go pro camera.  I am not sure how these came out, but the water here is crystal clear!  The main communication here in the southern Bahamas is the VHF marine radio.  If you want a cab, hail one on channel 68.  Call "Cool Runner" on channel 16 if you want cakes, bread or other goodies delivered to your boat.  Each island has its own unique channel designations, and you just have to figure it out.  Today, the big news on the radio was an approaching cold front, which means west to north winds.  Everyone was scrambling to get into a marina, or a protected anchorage for the big event.  There are only a few anchorages that provide protection from all directions.  We were smug since we were already in a marina, and had a front row seat to all sorts of vessels filling up our marina this afternoon, from a 200' yacht to a 25' sailboat.  This marina stands by on channel 71, and the dockmaster was some busy today.  By the end of the day she was turning away boats, much to the irritation of some!  About half the boats here are from Canada.  By the looks of things, not many people hang around for the winter there!  Highbourne Cay was developed by a wealthy American, and there is no town or indigenous population on the island, just the marina and six rental cabins.  There are paved roads and reliable underground electrical service, and a desalinization plant for water.  Better than most of the other islands with population centers.  The beaches here are off limits unless you are staying at one of the cabins or the marina.  They are unspoiled and gorgeous.  To get here (other than by your own boat) you have to charter a private plane from Nassau to Norman Cay, the next island over, and arrange to be picked up by boat and ferried to the resort.  With only six cabins, I don't see how this can turn a profit, with everything so well done.  It pays to be rich....
