Caves

The islands of the Bahamas are made of old coral and limestone and are riddled with caves. Some are right on the shore and you can swim into them. Others are a short hike up the trail. Anna and I went into one of these caves when we hiked over to the other side of the island. Other cruisers had picked up shoes and sandals that they found on the beach and every once in a while you would find another flip-flop sitting out marking the trail.
Just before the entrance to the cave someone had left a construction hat for people to wear when they were entering the cave.
The entrance was hidden under trees but was very large.
There were formations throughout the cave.
Someone had left an old metal bucket under a drip point and over the years, the bucket has become covered with stone!
There is a large underground pool in the cave that goes down 60 feet (so we were told), but we didn’t try it to see if it was true.
