After
provisioning and laundry this morning, we left the lovely little settlement of
Black Point – but not before a side trip to “The Garden of Eden”. This is a
sculpture garden made entirely of driftwood and strategically-placed plantings,
done by elderly Willie, who asks only for a “small donation” if you choose to
wander through (see pics below).
It was as
charming as both the locals and the cruisers all seem to be in this part of the
world. As we were making our way down to our parked dinghy, a cruiser was
telling a friend about the gluten-free bread a local woman’s mother had made
for her. I overheard, and asked about it for Jeff, and she handed me a loaf –
“enjoy”, she said. Jeff is overjoyed to again have some bread, as we had run
out days ago.
Then we had a
beautiful beam reach sail to our next destination – Staniel Cay, where 007’s
"Thunderball" was filmed. We watched the movie the other night in
preparation ... pretty awful!! I hope snorkelling in the Thunderball grotto will
be less disappointing. More about Staniel Cay after we visit tomorrow.
