Today was “Cheeseburger in Paradise” day, the whole day was planned around having cheeseburgers at Staniel Cay Yacht Club. We starved ourselves getting ready to pig out on food other people cooked, it was great.
We also “discovered” Island General store today, they filled our propane, I restocked my Coke supply, Linda got everything she wanted except fresh milk (they were sold out). I checked he pink store, no milk….. But the blue store had 3 half gallons, so I paid $7 a half gallon for two of them (that’s all that would fit in the fridge).
Earlier we had topped off our water tank and filled the last 3 gas cans,,..,, so we are fully serviced and ready to move about the country again.
We need to decide where we want to go next, North or South….. We intend to stay in the Exumas and feel we adequately studied the Staniel area so it’s time to move on. I found one very accessible sea glass beach very close to Thunderball, and another’s on the outside of Pipe Creek. The pipe creek beach has massive wave action so the glass is well rounded and buffed, I got some nice pieces there. It takes a lot of “want to” to land on this big wave beach. Getting on the beach was not as big a problem as launching the dinghy into the big surf to get off it. By the time I got away from the beach my boat had 6″ of water in it. The pieces I got off that beach were very mature….. You have to go for the big waves to get the best pieces!
Evening is upon us, Linda has had her bath so it’s time for mine.
Sea Yawl Later !! Rusty
