We have moved south again.

We left our friends in Staniel Cay and sailed over to Black Point Settlement. This place is well known for Lorain's mothers home baked bread. We went into town and picked up 2 loafs of bread and dropped of our trash. The next morning was a short sail back to Little Farmers Cay. We have been here before and had seen every thing but we needed to go for a good walk. So we dinghy into shore at Ty's Restaurant and walked down the runway into town. This island had 40 people living on it and not much happens here.

Here's the main street into town.

 Here's all the information you need to know.

Waiting patiently for a taste.

If you hang around on the dock you will see Stingray's, Turtles, and sharks

After our walk it was back down the runway to Ty's. The real name for the restaurant is Ty's Sunset Bar and Grill. And so we had a beer and watched the sun go down the deck on the beach.

 

 

The next day was another short sail to Lee Stocking Island. This is our first time here and the beaches were very nice. We arrived after lunch and went into the beach. There was a shark hanging around so we just went for a hike to the ocean side.

It was a beautiful calm day on the ocean side.

 



There was a lot of great rock formations from the waves coming a shore.

Laurie thought this was a great view

 

Now we are back in George Town waiting until next week to extend our visa's. That will give us enough time to move south and leave the Bahamas.

 

It's been a long time since we have heard any S.H.I.T. from Laurie 

So Here's Interesting Tidbits  S.H.I.T. for short!

 

Lee Stocking Island





 

This Island looks very jungle like. Its steep rocky hills and jungle like vegetation reminds me of a South Pacific Island. This island once was a hub of activity. It was once the home of the Caribbean Marine Research Center. This was affiliated with Florida State University and the USA Geological Surveys. It studied all living sea life.

 

Children's Bay Cay

 

Children's Bay Cay is one and a quarter miles long. It was once known to be the " Showcase Of The Exumas". Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy once owned this island. In the 1960s they sold it for 1 million dollars to the pickle king H.J Heinz and his socialite wife Drue. Drue had a hard time living on this remote island. She would get her worker to take her to the market in Georgetown. She was shocked that this dilapidated building was the best market known. It took him a while to convince her that "This Was It". This Cay is now developed and is private. You can only visit ashore by invite only.
