Wardrick Wells

An approaching windy front had us scurrying for the mooring balls at the park headquarters. The mooring balls , tucked between the cays in the narrow winding channel, have become more expensive since we were there last, up to $30 now. Tuesday night, the entire group from Hawksbill met to cook burgers on the beach in a light mist, and hikes a long trail to several beaches the next day.

 

We all had to revisit Boo Boo Hill and examine the carved and painted signs left by previous mariners.Several of us snorkeled the Ranger Coral Gardens within the mooring field and another at the entrance to Warderick Wells. The colorful coral in yellows and purples, blacks and oranges, competed with a brilliant rainbow of fish, such variety, so many designs and hues.  Enormous lobsters hid there too, peeking at us from spaces under the rocky coral heads.
