Manjack Cay

Our next stop was Manjack Cay, (pronounced "Munjack"), a sparsely populated Cay in the Northern Abacos. We had heard there was a lovely beach and a nature park at this spot. We dropped anchor and went for a dinghy ride in search of the park. Unfortunately, it was low tide, so, at one point, we actually had to tote the dinghy across a grassy bar. n

The water was sparkling clear and we could see lots of starfish and conch on the bottom. We found a striking beach guarded by large rocky formations and the remains of a dilapidated dock, but no nature park. At dusk we dinghied back to the boat with about a foot more water. There was a beautiful sunset and I initiated a friendly salute by sounding my conch horn. Several others answered my call.
