April 18 Warderick Wells, Exumas, Bahamas

We spent the next day continuing our exploration of Warderick Wells. We dinghied over to the end of the cay and hiked the Davis plantation, circa 1700. We could only imagine traveling across an ocean back in the day and then arriving to this arid and rocky coast, without water, power, housing or soil. We never did find out what they came here to plant. For the record, these Davis’ are of no relation. My fams went to North Carolina to plant tobacco. In the afternoon, we snorkeled some of the surrounding reefs.
Things of note. The stone wall surrounding the plantation was an enigma. A lot of work to cut and hand carry each rock. What might they be keeping out? Ken also spotted a hootia, an endangered and nocturnal furry varmint. And a floating "house".
When we reached the end of the wall, which came down to the beach, instead of going back the same way, Craig led us on a journey around the rocky coast and back to our dinghy. It was a challenging hike but with all skin, 6 wrists and 6 ankles intact at the end of it, everyone was happy.
