Treasure Hunt - Florida Bay - Mason Bay - Lovely Beach

Not sure of the actual count of glass balls found, just know it was quite a few. Sharie, James and Chris have the eye for these treasures, not me. Sharie was kind enough to give me little hints as to the location of the few balls I found, she would say "Look right there" it still took me a while to locate them.....hopeless.
We had to talk Sharie out of the ball of rope, didn't think we could get it in the plane.
The people of Acklins have the most charming names for places, Delectable Bay, Hard Hill - Lovely Beach, Spring Point, Bight of Acklins, Crooked Island, Salina Point. It is rumored that Salina Point was settled over 50 years ago (nobody could name an exact date) when a boat load of Haitians wrecked there. Nobody on Acklins knew they were there until an illness struck the group and somebody went for help. Today Salina Point is one of the largest settlements on Acklins. It is extremely remote, the road is mostly unpaved.
