The settlement at Black Point on Great
Iguana Cay is a lovely, historic community with some of the friendliest people
we’ve encountered in the Bahamas. It boasts two food stores, two restaurants
and several popular bars, as well as gorgeous beaches and the best laundry
facility in the Bahamas J.
I thought we were early birds when we
dinghied our three loads of laundry over there at 8:30 this morning – but
discovered that all 12 machines were already in use, and the laundry was filled
with cruisers trading stories while they waited their turn.
No problem, though. Lorraine’s restaurant
next store served us a great brunch, and we met up with some friends from our
sailing club in Toronto, to help pass the waiting time – while Lorraine’s
mother made us a fresh gluten-free bread for Jeff!
The day before, I took a walk to a near-by
beach and spent a couple of hours watching parasail enthusiasts struggling to
get their kites in the air in the now much calmer wind. One of them – a paragon
of patience – spent over an hour waiting for the wind to catch his sail. I left
before he gave up – so I’m not sure how much longer he persisted, and whether
or not he ever actually managed to sail.
Tomorrow we’re off to Little Farmer’s Cay
with clean clothes and linen, though not much food in the fridge – hope they
have a grocery store there!
