We are today in Little Farmers Cay. We believe we will be here for a week waiting for the festival this coming weekend which is supposed to be a big deal. We sailed down today from Black Point Cay and hit some gusting winds and squalls. We left Exuma Park and motored to Staniel Cay where we snorkeled in Thunderball Cave where the James Bond movie was filmed. It was wonderful. Pretty tropical fish and coral. I am getting more proficient at using my flippers. John lost one of his overboard in Exuma Park so we are on the lookout for another pair for him. We visited the little stores and purchased some green peppers, bananas and oranges. There is a yacht club in Staniel but we anchored out and rode the dinghy in to shop. It is a lovely little island and the stores are named by their color. Pink store, blue store and the bread lady in the yellow house. We went to a barbecue put on to raise money for the school and we donated some pencils we had brought with us to help out.
The next day we motored down to Black Point Cay where we stopped at Lorraine's Cafe for drinks and wifi. There is a wonderful laundry there that our new friends took advantage of. We decided to hold off until Georgetown for that chore.
Arrived at Little Farmer's today and we are awaiting the end of the rain squall so we can go into town and explore and perhaps find internet. The trip down was exciting when the squalls hit and the winds spiked. We had out too much sail and really got hit but fortunately they passed fairly quickly.
We are anchored out on the southwest corner of the cay hoping to get some shelter as the winds are forecast to gust to 30 kts. + for the next few days. We shall see how it goes.
