| ISLAND COLORS ON STANIEL CAY |
We dinked just around the bend to charming Staniel Cay. This colorful little settlement has a quaint resort, a small airport, a couple tiny restaurants and two tiny markets. They make Grant’s Village Store look big. We walked around and explored the area, stopping to purchase some freshly baked coconut bread from the Titta Emil’s bright yellow home-bakery. You just knock on her back door and are invited into her kitchen to choose from the available bread displayed upon her table. Yummy, fresh baked bread!

We took time to have a little lunch at the casual, welcoming Staniel Cay Yacht Club. They are popular with the boaters and cottage guests alike and offer Wi-Fi (to purchase), a pool table and a couple of TVs tuned to the weather and sports.
The weather has been so windy that we have not been brave enough to explore the Thunderball Grotto that was made famous by Agent 007. We hope to get to it before departing.
We did, however, meet and feed the pigs that live on Big Majors Cay. As you dingy to the beach these eager freckled swine swim out begging for a handout. You can’t help but laugh at their eager greetings.

Wednesday is “Mailboat” day and everyone scrambles to Isles General Store to provision up. We found great produce and even some fresh milk.

I finally tried my hand at the stand-up paddle board and successfully maneuvered around the boat a couple of times. I had tried it in Mexico but the waters were just too “wavy” for chicken me.
