Rudder Cay - Underwater Musician
We gingerly motored south on the shallow bank side of the Exuma island chain when the sun was high enough in the sky for visual navigation. I don’t think it’s possible to get enough of the beautiful colors of this area. The many shades of blues and greens of the water, the rugged islands with tropical deep green and moss green vegetation and the sky of course.
And then the climate; it’s essentially a steady 77F/25C day and night with low humidity and a pleasant breeze. We are never cold and never hot. The water is hovering around 79F/26C and is clear and refreshing. It really couldn’t be any nicer.
Our destination today was Musha Cay and Rudder Cay, a quick 3 nm miles from our starting point. Musha Cay is owned by David Copperfield (in the US, famous magician). He offers cottages for rent for $42,000 per night, swell of him. He also commissioned an underwater statue in about 12 ft of water by Rudder Cay, just south of Musha Cay.
We anchored nearby and had fun diving on the statue; camp for sure, a mermaid by a Steinway grand piano. I nearly drowned in a laugh attack while filming Eva with the GoPro as she was gracefully diving underwater. Justus suddenly appears in the picture with a wave and a stupid grin on his face; my salt water coughing fit could only have been rivaled by the great Kjell himself in his days (movie clip attached).
The rest of the day was spent lazily on the beach by our anchorage and exploring a water cave nearby. Dinner and to bed early. Easy, good living.
