Camp Driftwood

Ah leap year ! We deserve this bonus day after loosing over three weeks in Nassau. Nice not having to go anywhere. We have canolope for breakfast, should of waited a few more days, wasn’t quite ripe enough, but the price was right.

Today we do have one important goal, to spend the afternoon at Camp Driftwood. There is a mangrove lined creek on the north side of Shroud that meanders east to the ocean side of the island. There is a gorgeous beach we plan on visiting for a while. We pack up lunch, the beach umbrella (something we wish we had the first trip, beautiful beaches, but never much shade), towels and books. Finally and nice warm day at the beach after six weeks in the Bahamas.  I hiked to the top of the hill “Camp Driftwood”.  Fabulous views of the whole island.

"Life is a Beach"

This was a lookout point for the DEA back in the 80’s when they were keep tabs on that Carlos guy, the Colombian Drug runner that had taken over Norman’s just to the north.
