We managed to get into Big Majors and dinghied over to Staniel Cay and had lunch and the Yacht club and walked around town. It's a very nice place with a good population. After lunch we took our left-overs and went to feed the pigs on Big Majors. As you approach the pigs can hear your dinghy and come running down the beach and swim out to your dinghy to be fed. You have to take care as they almost want to board your dinghy and the can damage it so you let them follow you as you hand out scraps. I must admit if was fun to see so many and how well they swim, they certainly all look well fed too.

On Thursday we started early to snorkel Thunder Ball Grotto as the tide was near slack (no current). We had a fantastic experience as the grotto is lit by sun light from above and through the many rocks which give stunning views aropund the grotto and surrounding rocks. We saw lots of fish and even a small turtle. We had the place to ourselves (Devin, Liz & Dee) but after a while a British couple we met earlier joined us. Steve and Carol had an underwater camera and were nice enough to share some of the underwater photo's with us. What a treat.

After Staniel Cay we moved to Black Point. They have stores, a Laundromat and restaurants so we've done laundry and eat out last night with a group of cruisers. We will probably explore today. They also love cruisers here so have fee Internet, free RO water and free trash disposal. All of these are really welcome and it almost feels like being in civilization again. But not enough to make us stay too long, well be here 2 nights possibly though.
