The parts we need for the windlass have been ordered. We are hoping they will arrive in Fort Lauderdale by Tuesday and then be flown to Staniel Cay soon after that. Early this morning George pulled the anchor up by hand and we moved a few miles N to Black Point. We love the Little Bay anchorage but it can get rolly when the wind moves beyond 90°. The forecast shows a few episodes of ESE wind in the next few days so we moved to the busier—but more protected from ESE wind—anchorage of Black Point.
Cleaned windlass.
Awaiting our lunch at the High Tide Cafe.
George spent a few hours cleaning the windlass gears and other parts. He did a great job avoiding getting grease all over himself and the boat. Next he will put new grease on the parts in preparation for reassembling the windlass.
In the afternoon we went to the High Tide Cafe for a late lunch. The food was great and the location is beautiful. After lunch we took a walk to the blowhole and noticed several newly constructed houses. Black Point seems to be thriving.

Wish I was at the High Tide Cafe with you, it looks lovely!
