More Black Point Pictures

This is a view of the anchorage from the hill across the way.  On our last day we hiked to the northern end of the island.  If you notice the clouds, that has been a daily scene.  One night we were up and down closing ports and hatches then reopening to avoid being too stuffy.  At least it is deleting the salt on all the surfaces.

There are large cacti all over the island.  I couldn't find out if they are native or not.

One of the rock formations on the Atlantic (Exuma Sound) side of the island.  You can really see the forces of wind and rain on the limestone.

There was apparently an attempt at a resort on this end of the island.  There were several houses in various stages of building and disrepair.  We'll keep this in mind in case we're ever tempted to invest in resort property.

These are the real white cliffs at the north end, called the White Horses by the locals.

This is what I took to be those same cliffs and posted on the first Black Point post.  Turns out it is a huge pile of crushed limestone. We learned the source from a nice lady at Farmer's Cay.  When the private owner of Bell Island was doing his developing he need somewhere to dump his excavated rocks and no one stopped him from just dumping.  As she said "If you have money you can get away with anything."  I guess that is a universal truth, too bad.

In the middle of the island is another failed resort.  This castle is one of those places that was completed.  There were no power lines leading to it and we don't know if anyone was living there or it was abandoned too.
