Staniel Cay

After a week in Sampson Cay we pulled the hook to head south!  We had visited Big Major to see the pigs and hang out a bit on Cruiser’s Beach, so we decided to head there.

When we pulled the hook there was some chafe on our snubber lines—may have to craft something for that—and a little wear on the Dyneema shackles we use to attach the snubbers to the chain, but otherwise all was well.  We dropped the hook off Pig Beach and headed to town for an unsuccessful provisioning run, but a highly successful lunch at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club!

But the real treat was yet to come!  We grabbed the kids for a wet and wild dinghy ride to Thunderball Grotto!  Wow, it was amazing!  I loved the pockets of light and life within the cave, and the reef along its outer edges.  The kids loved going in and out through little holes, and we got to explore with our friends from S/V No Limits.  It was a wonderful afternoon!




Tomorrow we sail back north to the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park for a few days while the weather holds!

  1. Loved the park and a great place to ride out a front. Hope all is well after the front that came through this week.
