Paddling the Exuma Cays

Photoblog, Reviews Comment »

Just back from a relaxing break in the Exuma Islands, a group of cays south of Nassau in the Bahamas. After launching at the north end of Great Exuma, we spent a week paddling from white sand beach to white sand beach, snorkelling, fishing and relaxing as we went.

Our expedition was arranged by Out Island Explorers, based near Georgetown. They put together a wonderful trip. Great guiding, excellent food, and a schedule with the perfect mix of action and relaxation. The first and last nights were spent at the Palm Bay Beach Club. Other than that, it was camping on the beach.

This vacation wasn't about photography but there were some nice shots to be had. I was happy with my waterproof camera, the Olympus TG-310. At the last minute, I realised that I didn't have any spare batteries for it, but the Battery Barn got some to me just in time. I also had my Canon G10 along for the trip - it's getting a bit long in the tooth but still a great machine.

I'll post a few more images from the trip in the days to come.
