Sampson Cay: Running Out of Adjectives

Each Cay that we visit has it’s own unique beauty. Currently we are at Sampson Cay, where there is a small exclusive resort, complete with a restaurant and some lovely hiking trails. 

















We did a full snorkeling trip  today  with Patrick and Lisa, who had spent time in the area previously, so they had  screened the sites.  We headed up to Pipe Creek, which is protected by Cays, except for where the inlets come in from the ocean side. So, we had some current to deal with as we entered the water, but the clarity of the water was amazing.

 Our first site was about 5 feet deep, with an abundance of coral heads. Our second site was like a sunken valley, an underwater botanical garden, where the sponges stole the show. They looked like greek urns, holding coral and anemones. Our final site was nearest the ocean cut and the fish were the most outstanding feature.  Currently I am sitting on a lovely Lanai, the birds are signing, the ocean waves lapping in the background, the sun is filtered through the palm trees.
