40th birthday trip

My wife and I travelled to the middle Exumas to celebrate my 40th birthday, which was July 19th. It is a beautiful place with secluded beaches and amazing blue water that must be seen to believe. I wanted to post a few pictures with the community that could only be appreciated here. I don't do much social media, so thanks to all for being a place I can comfortably share.


1) Obligatory airport shot
2) Swimming with the pigs
3) Rachel's Bubbles (no bubbles, low tide)
4) Swimming with the sharks (nurse, not pictured)
5) Sunset view from the "bungalow" (proof I didn't only take pictures of my watch)

Great pics. I've been on those waters numerous times, and I agree that they have to be seen to be believed. Happy belated 40th

I just watched an episode of "Naked and Afraid" and they featured the Exumas as well. I couldn't stop marveling over the beautiful water!

Quality shots! I am especially curious about these ocean-dwelling pigs... Please tell me someone put a snorkel and goggles on them. I think I need to see that happen before I die.

aaaand is that a Kalik beer?

Happy Belated Birthday!

I just showed my wife as she is crazed about the swim with the pigs. We might have to do that soon. A great watch for the trip!

Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes! I found a couple more underwater shots, a close up of one of the pigs, and a cave we went to - all from a gopro style camera (quality is a little suspect!).
