Compass & Staniel Cays

The Salty Lady and Tonto's Reward cruised from Highbourne Cay to Compass Cay on Sunday, 19 June.  We stopped at Norman Cay with hopes of having lunch at McDuff.  However, they had a private party of  20 or 25 and could not handle any more.  So we had lunch aboard our respective boats as we cruised to Compass Cay. 

Compass Cay Marina has expanded since we were there in 2004.  The marina is larger, they serve grilled hamburgers at lunch time, have several gazebos throughout the island, and a few more rental villas.  Tucker is still in charge and it still has the most beautiful beach.  We hiked some of the trails, toured via dinghy, swam with the sharks, and had a absolutely fabulous time.

This morning, after one more beach walk, we headed for Staniel Cay.  The Yacht Club was very busy and we had to wait for someone to leave before we got out slip assignment.  Then a quick trip to the grocery store and the bakery for more GREAT Bahamian bread.  We dinked around this afternoon.  Saw two swimming pigs at Big Majors Spot.  Tonight we are joining the Salty crew for dinner at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club.

Cheers, Gail B.
