Back to Black Point, Staniel Key and Big Majors, June 2 - 4

We woke to a beautiful morning and decided to move north, our first stop would be Little Farmers Cay for lunch, as we got closer the winds seemed to increase and the flood tide was ripping.  Since it was 10:30 AM we decided to continue on, and found white caps on the inside, winds were 25 ++, we are experiencing some very confused weather.  Oh, did I mention that our four glass wine glasses fell and all but one broke.  We were thinking of taking them off the boat, so that has been taken care of.  Once anchored at Black Point, we downloaded the weather, cleaned up broken glass and stayed in to enjoy a quiet afternoon.

Our first order of business was to take the trash ashore, secure a loaf of coconut bread at Lorraines and find eggs.  We were not able to find eggs, and got ready to move north with a stop at Staniel Cay for lunch at the Yacht Club, a new phone at BTC and food stuff at Blue Wing Groceries.

Returning to the marina found the nursing sharks close by to secure the scrapes from the fish being cleaned.  Diane enjoyed getting acquainted with the marine life.

After a very lazy morning, it was time to go into town, a quick stop at the store, a stroll to the airport,

Staniel Cay Airport - Terminal, Gate, Baggage Area, Runway, etc.


lunch at Staniel Cay Yacht Club, we pulled up anchor and headed around the corner to Big Majors Cay. The sky was getting darker and rain began mid afternoon
