Swimming with pigs is possible on Big Major Cay in the Exumas, along with a myriad of other creatures in the beautiful, clear ocean of the Bahamas.

Slammed on the crossing from Florida we clung to the heaving deck of a small catamaran in the dark scanning the horizon for cruise ships. Exhausted and bruised, we dropped anchor and checked into the country.  When the weather cleared, we spent many glorious weeks visiting pristine beaches and enjoying all the Bahamas has to offer, including a wading pig staring wistfully out to sea.

Is anyone is interested in a portrait of a regal Bahamas iguana? I’d be happy to oblige.
