With the lack of a camera, it is hard to do justice to Conception Island. We left Staniel Cay and crossed the Exuma Sound in 3-4 foot seas for the southern end of Cat Island. There we stayed at the Hawk's Nest Marina for one night and left the next morning for Conception Island. After a fairly plesant ride, 3-4 foot seas again, we arrived at Conception Island and anchored off one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen !! There were 6-7 other boats there including one very large mega-yacht and another yacht that looked like a floating version of an F-117. Again the water was crystal clear, and although we were within swimming distance of the beach, we had at least 15 feet under the keel.
At night, some of the largest sharks I have ever seen in the wild would glide under the boat (nurse sharks, I think) and one barracuda seems to adopt us and hung around under the boat almost every day. The snorkling was great and we toured most of the western and southern portions of the island by dingy
As soon as we see how to download some pictures from out bahamian cell phone camera, I'll update this post with some pictures..
