We have had a great time at Staniel Cay. Exploring by land and by sea. We bought fresh bread at the Yellow Bakery and groceries at both the Pink Store and the Blue Store. Definitely a colorful place. In the afternoon we took the dinghy to Big Major's Spot and saw the swimming pigs. While Claude, Joann, David, and I were there they just waded in the water. I am sure they wanted us to feed them, but we don't feed any wild animals. David went back the next day with Jim and said the pigs were actually swimming - not just wading. Yesterday morning Claude, David & I snorkeled Thundercloud Cave. Really interesting and lots of great coral along the rock just outside the cave. Then we picked up JoAnn for another dinghy outing. Took lots of photos of the clear aqua water, blue sky and beautiful cloud formations. Checked out Sandy Cay and stopped for lunch at Sampson Cay on the way back to Staniel.
Today we will be going to Warderick Wells. Will listen to the park report on the VHF at 9 AM and put Salty Lady and Tonto's Reward on the mooring request list. Then take off pretty quickly. We want to have lots of time with good light for snorkeling at Warderick Wells. Claude and JoAnn are going to jump ship and travel with Salty Lady today. They want to experience a trawler and the views from a fly bridge. Also without Linda and Tony, Salty Lady could use a another pair of hands picking up the mooring.
Tomorrow, 24 June, we head from Warderick Wells back to Nassau. It is the end of a wonderful week with JoAnn and Claude aboard Tonto. They fly from Nassau to DFW (non-stop) and then on to Austin getting all the way home in one short travel afternoon and evening of travel.
All my photos have been edited and posted to the GHYC website. Cheers, Gail B.
