We lose our internet access this morning so I though I would be especially diligent and get completely up to date on the blog before we do. Last night we had an excellent evening out at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club. When we arrived the staff were gutting fish at an outdoor facility at the waters edge and throwing the debris over the side. There to clean up were about a dozen nurse harks plus some pretty big rays. The kids here on holiday though that was great and they were taking the skin and trimmings and trying to hand feed them.
It’s behind you!

Staniel Cay Yacht Club is another one of those famous yachting hangout that you just have to visit (you can tell because they sell t-shirts!). So we thought we ought to experience a night there. It is has loads of character and the wall is covered in old photos of famous visitors and stages of the build starting back in the 1950’s, plus obviously all the Thunderball memorabilia.

We met two nice American families in the bar, Mark, Anna and Bella from Nashville / Florida are here for a week and there house in Florida is near the Cape Canaveral anchorage that we are planning to visit in July. They were really helpful on some places for us to visit in Florida. We are hoping to see them then and also later today when we visit the feral pigs on Great Major’s Cay, beside Staniel Cay which swim out to meet you in the dingy and like to be fed (Update to this post next time we get internet). David & Jamie are I think from Tennessee and are planning to visit London, the Cotswolds and the Lakes this summer. We used to live near the Lakes in the UK so we gave them a few suggestions on places to visit.
