Staniel Cay

I haven't yet said much about Staniel Cay, about a mile from our anchorage. We visited Staniel Cay the day after we anchored here. Our primary reason was to pick up the new solar panel. We ordered a new one from Amazon to replace a solar panel that wasn't working. We had it shipped to Watermakers Air in Fort Lauderdale and they flew it to Staniel Cay 2 days later. We picked it up from Staniel Cay Yacht Club the following day. It couldn't have been easier. The whole thing took just a week. While we were there we paid $7.00 to dump our trash (not complaining), ate a delicious lunch at the lovely Staniel Cay Yacht Club, took a walk around town and visited Pink Pearl Supermarket. (In photo). We bought lettuce and carrots there. The lettuce is fresher than what we buy at the Giant back home, probably because the delivery boat had come the day before. While walking along the shore on our way back to the yacht club, George spotted a 5-foot shark swimming by. (Apparently, they are no
t uncommon. I take a look around before getting in the water.) At the yacht club we filled our two 5-gallon jerry cans with diesel and gas, loaded them, the solar panel and ourselves into The Chuggernaut and took the very slow ride back to Breeze On.
