April 8–Oven Rock

After lunch at Lorraine’s we pulled up the anchor and headed south to anchor near Oven Rock.  We met some friends who told us it was a great anchorage with a pretty beach and a cave to explore.  This anchorage is on the southern end of Great Guana Cay just north of Little & Big Farmer’s Cays.  

Saw this Yacht with all it’s toys on our way.

Not hard to see why this is called oven rock.  It looks like a stone oven just waiting for a pizza to go inside.  The water was so very clear that we decided to go for a swim and found a huge starfish.  It think it weighed about  5 pounds

Interested in learning more about the starfish?  Click here to see the National Geographic page about starfish.  I learned they can live for 35 years and can weigh up to 11 pounds.
