Staniel Cay

We are anchored at the Black Point Settlement Island. This is one of the big residents Island. It has the best Laundromat service with Dinghy Dock and a separate balcony with an Ocean view. One can order the fresh bread and Groceries by talking to the residents and making a reservation. After school, the schoolgirls in their uniform came out and wanted to play with us.

This Island has different scenery in every corner. The front side of island has a beautiful beach with an anchorage. This photo is the back side of Island. Peter got really excited here since it reminds him of his childhood and his hometown and Cornish beaches.

Similar Cornwall to Bahamas.

Reminds Lee of S Korean Island Hong Do.

We got this piece of Coral from the Ocean. A piece must be broken from coral family. The color is beautiful and it is Fractal.

A real found Fractal.

We met Stardust while getting our water supply. He came to have a drink in our Boat last night. He is sailing alone and he manages to take care of the boat by himself. He is an Engineer and a very wholesome person. We had another drink in his boat. It is very nice 34foot boat. Specially the woodwork of the boat is very beautiful.

We walked to the Blow Hole at the other side of Island. The water shoots up high in the air when the high wave comes in and makes a rainbow at the end. The actual size of the hole is very small.

A free shower!

We got some water and were in the dinghy on the way to our boat, there were very friendly people in a motor boat nearby. I did not realize that it was Toni, Eric and their parents. We are planning to go to anchor in front of Toni’s parents country house tomorrow in Staniel Cay. I was so happy to see them. We met the Parents a couple of days ago so Toni’s Dad recognized my hat. They come to this Island often.

We arranged to meet Toni and Eric in Staniel Cay while we were at the Long Island raft up last July in Three Mile Harbor, New York. They have a gemini in Long Island. It seemed so far away in space and time! Now here we are!

We met all Toni’s family member in their Country House. They were so welcoming. Tony and Eric made home made Pizza for dinner. It was delicious! It was specially nice to talk about many things to Toni’s parents as well.

We went to have dinner at Staniel Cay Yacht Club. The dinner was very good with excellent views over the Bay and romantic ambience.
