Just around the corner from Big Majors is Staniel Cay. Blair, Laurie, Dave and I decided to dinghy over to check out the island.
It is a small community, with two small convenience stores, a boutique, a bread shop and the yacht club/marina. We bummed around town eventually finding our way to the yacht club where the pet sharks were in for their feeding. It was a great afternoon - then we decided to head back to the boats. Just one problem, we had all come in one dinghy and the propeller on the dinghy was slipping. Shortly after leaving Staniel Cay we turned around and headed back not wanting to tax the prop too much. Back at Staniel the search began for a new prop - the correct size not available - onto plan B. We asked a cruiser to take Dave back to the anchorage for our dinghy and tools. He returned and the boys began the task of 'bandaiding' the prop while Laurie and I took to task documenting 'our peril'. Within the hour the boys had the the fix in and we headed, in two dinghies, back to the boats.
Never a dull day in paradise.
The Admiral
