Kayaking in Lucayan National Park

At Lucayan National Park.

A few plants thrive on small outcroppings of rock, using the fresh water on the top of the stream to live.

There were a few young racoons down in the mangroves. I never saw their mother.

It's too bad we didn't have time to walk all of this.

The rain on the flora.

Red winged blackbirds were a familiar sight. I was happy to see this little female had legbands. I wonder who was studying her?

Was trying to show the depth but didn't come out right.

It's a shame the agaves I could get to were immature ones with no flower spike. These were to small ones but they were nice. Agave braceana

Gold Rock Beach is part of Grand Bahamas National Park and is protected by the National Trust. This beach is located east of the Island (about 25 miles from Freeport) and is secluded and spectacular at low tide. North of the beach, across the road are the Lucayan Caverns, the world's longest underground surveyed cave system. Gold Rock Beach is known as the ‘Welcome Mat’ of the island.

This sign perfectly represents what a lot of Grand Bahama was like - bright and welcoming, but a little worn around the edges.

Vacances aux Bahamas

This is the shore excursion we didn't do. I would have loved to kayak, but I don't think my traveling partners were up to the challenge.

This is best seen in video but it was neat to watch the reflections.
