1/29/2011 LITTLE FARMERS CAY

EXPLORING THE CAVE AND PARTICIPATING IN THE COMMUNITY FUNDRAISER FOR A GOOD CAUSE

SATURDAY

TOTAL MILES TRAVELED TODAY: 0 NM

Marilyn and Vic came through and took us on an adventurous trek today. We followed them in the dingy to Great Guana Cay and set off on foot to find the “cave”. It started out pretty good but soon we were ducking up one rocky path and back down another, seeking the hidden cave entrance. Just when we thought we might never find it Dan spied it. We ducked inside and dunked our toes in the cool waters and admired the stalagmites and stalactites.

After our fill of the cave we continued on over to the lovely beach on the east side of the island. We relaxed in the shade of some overhanging trees and combed for shells before heading back to our dinks.




THE CAPTIVATING LITTLE BAY THAT WE HIKED TO

The community here on Little Farmers Cay came together this afternoon to raise some funds to assist a fellow islander in need. She is undergoing radiation treatments for throat cancer and her benefits have run out. There was live music, crafts and some great food for sale. They served up your choice of chicken, ribs, steak, lobster or goat curry. Steve and Cindy (of VT) were there with newly arrived relatives, many boaters dinked ashore to participate and all the local families gathered for this worthy cause. We chatted with the school’s principal and his lovely wife who teaches the lower grades and they invited us to stop into the school when we return next week. It was so cool to be a part of this community activity.
