And the sunrise.
Eric and Christi both slept poorly because the snubber was making a lot of noise throughout the night. The smell of trash burning was strong this morning, just as it had been yesterday evening. We’d intended to leave early, but were off to a slow start didn’t leave pull up anchor until about 0930. The blue dot on the map was Norman Cay (where we left from) and the red dot was the anchorage we went to.

After breakfast, we met the crew from Tiki Tour on shore and trekked up the short saltwater river to the Bubble Bath.
