We did have a St. Patrick’s Day celebration! We went out to dinner for the first time since our departure from Nassau on March 5 th ! It’s the first anchorage that we have been in that even had a place to eat!!! We dined at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club and enjoyed a delicious dinner with our friends, Gordon and Lori. Don’t let the name “Yacht Club” fool you. It is a very casual atmosphere. I know that everyone had shirts on but I am not sure about shoes!
On Thursday, we made sure that we were in town by 9 AM so that we could put our order in for fresh baked bread. There is a woman in town who bakes bread in her home and sells it. We walked to her house and knocked on her door and put our order in. She told us that it would be ready at 5! We were fortunate that she had gotten flour from the supply boat the previous day. Otherwise, we would have been out of luck. We were amazed at the small kitchen and the regular oven that the woman uses for baking. She must have her oven going all day long!
While we were around Staniel Cay, we snorkeled Thunderball cave, hiked the town, fished, read books and relaxed. The weather was very nice here, and we enjoyed several nights of calm sleep.
Tomorrow, we’re off to Black Point, where we’ll do laundry, and fill our water tanks.
