It's Warderick Wells. A beautiful little Cay, headquarters to the Exuma National Park, with a beautiful protected anchorage. The beach is so pretty (even the bleached carcass of an unfortunate whale has its charm), moorings are in a circle with small sand bars in the middle (where puppies love to scamper), and the scenery is unrivaled.
On our trip from Nassau to Shroud Cay (with winds and waves slightly higher....like maybe double...what was predicted), we got a radio call. We'd lost Summer Wind (Rusty and Nancy) in Marathon, since they left early to get friends to Nassau for a flight home. As we passed Norman's Cay, they hailed us, having waited there for us till we made our way south. They followed us to Shroud, where we both anchored and got together for a long-awaited reunion happy hour. We then made our way to Warderick the next day.

We were happy to have made it to Warderick when we did, having spent Easter here before. The Park provided a ham, and all the cruisers brought pot luck to the home of Peter, the administrator of Exuma Park. The house is amazing, airy and open with porches all around for a spectacular view from any angle. It was a great way to spend Easter, meet new friends, and enjoy the view. Nancy was the only one clever enough to create an Easter bonnet on her boat, but it was stunning!
