Little Bay

This morning we raised the anchor and motored 2 1/2 south around Black Point to Little Bay, one of our favorite anchorages. We will have strong trade winds for the next few days. Little Bay has a little less wind protection than Black Point but since we can anchor closer to shore it has much less chop. That makes using the dinghy quite a bit easier. It takes about 40 minutes to walk from here to town but we can use the exercise anyway. After setting the anchor we took the dinghy to the beach and went for a walk. 

Someone has put quite a bit of work into building a bar right next to the beach. After leaving the beach area we explored the roads that were cleared for a development that was never built. On the higher lots we had a good view of Exuma Sound on the eastern shore and we are happy to not be out there today. Next we walked some of the way toward town before turning around. Along the way George spotted a land hermit crab in the road. The poor thing has completely outgrown its shell. When we returned to the beach we saw Johnny and Doris from ‘Bout Time. They were there with their children and grandchildren. The families are renting a large cottage for two weeks along with a couple of golf carts. They seem to be having a great time. One of the grandsons appears to be the designated driver of one of the golf carts. He always has a great big smile on his face when he is driving. The other grandson came up with up with the families’ radio call sign, “Super Fantastic”. I think that is adorable. 

Drink anyone?
