We sailed from Cambridge Cay over the banks to Big Majors near Staniel Cay. The pigs are still at the beach waiting for handouts. The day we arrived at Staniel the local school was holding a benefit bar-b-que. We had a wonderful steak meal on the town beach for $12. We spent the following afternoon in Staniel Cay Yacht Club using their free wifi.
The next stop was Black Point where we did our laundry at the best launder mat in the Exumas. Of course we went to Loraine's for dinner. I had conch and John had fish - wonderful as usual. Before we left the next morning we got a loaf of Lorraine's mother's famous coconut bread. Swirls of coconut are cooked into the bread. We anchored the next night around the point from Black Point settlement to get some wind protection. There was a beautiful white sand beach (deserted of course). The following
day we left for Georgetown at 0600. We left the banks at Galliot Cut and sailed through Exuma Sound to Georgetown, abour 40 miles. The wind was on our left back quarter so we had a nice downwind run in about 15 knots of wind.
