Our next stop going south is Warderick Wells, which houses the main office for the Exuma Land and Sea Park. They have a couple of mooring fields here and we found a mooring in the Emerald Rock mooring field. The rate for these very secure mooring is $40 a day for our boat. One the island are a few hiking trails, and of those one leads to a blow hole, which we never say blow and the other to Boo Boo Hill. This is a high spot amongst the islands and you can clearly see the Exuma Sound on the east side and the Bahama Banks on the west. Boo Boo Hill is famous for all the signs boaters leave of their visit here and we left a small Will'n Joy Canadian sign.
The interpretive center has plenty of information and the most important one was to avoid the Poison Wood tree. Apparently touching it's bark or leaves will make having poison ivy seem like a small itch. The rash and burn from this tree will last several weeks, and therefore we have learnt to identify it and avoid it.
While checking in we met two other Canadian boaters, Larry and Lynn on Seaquel II and Chris and Anneke on Sea-riously.
