Sunday, July 26 leaving Stuart on our boat Ninety Degrees, the Manatee Pocket and out the St. Lucie Inlet for Walkers Cay and Grand Cay, Bahamas.
The seas were calm and we travelled 35-40 mph to the Bahama Bank (the shallows to the west of the islands) within two hours. The ocean went from its deep blue to emerald green. 
Within another hour we spotted Walkers Cay on the horizon (you'll have to click the picture to get the view):
As we pulled up to Walkers Cay it was like stepping back in time... 2004 to be exact.
That's the year Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne brought destruction to the island.

I posted about missing this place a while back;
you can read that HERE.
Nope, Alec, the phones are down.
Next, we dodged limestone rocks while traveling to Grand Cay, a mere couple miles south of Walkers.

Below, the island of Grand Cay is struggling to become the renowned place Walkers once was. Docks and seawalls have been greatly improved and the locals were, as always, gracious hosts. Many buildings were recently painted, giving the island a classic fishing village look.
Rosie's Place has deepwater dockage for the bigger sportfishing boats at the docks in this picture. Jollee's Place, where we stayed, is the royal blue building to the left.
After unloading Ninety Degrees we noticed showers beginning to build in the skies and so fishing and spearing would be put on the back burner until the next day.

We did motor over to the next island south known as Double Breasted Cay for some relaxing:
