Staniel Cay Pix

After a two anxious hours, the tsunami warnings were lifted.  What do you think THE CREW was doing when the earthquake hit ??  What else, but having "sundowners" in the cockpit....we didn't feel a thing !  I turned on Sirius to listen to some tunes, and the radio was set to CNN from the morning when we listen to news.....that's when we heard what happened only 240 miles away......  On a happier note, thought you would enjoy some sights from Staniel Cay:

Here are the pastel colored cottages along the waterfront:

T and I approach the beach at Big Majors Spot which is the adjacent island (Cay) to  Staniel.   Just off the beach, note the PIG entering the water to come out and greet us:

Here are two pigs actually swimming out to the dinghy.  Note how far they are from the beach !!!

                They are here !!!  Handsome girls aren't they.....

   The sign over the door reads:  "Hugh Smith  Pink Pearl Super Market"

That's it from Staniel Cay.  We are leaving for Black Point this morning after taking on some more water and dinghy gas.  (I burned up a bunch of gas chasing pigs)  Black Point is the second largest community in the Exumas; so we will be able to get fresh produce (we hope).  Fresh produce arrives here in Staniel once a week on the mailboat.  So, if you aren't right at the "supermarket" on the day the mailboat arrives, you are otta luck.    All for now......dodging  tsunamis, is a "tuff" job on Persephone !!  YOUR FEARLESS CREW
