Making the Turn for Home

Black Point to Big Major's Spot  |  1.5 Hours   8 Miles 

Black Point is my favorite spot in the Exumas. Everything is here: protected harbor, beautiful water, great walking paths, friendly folks, restaurants, groceries, homemade bread, and the best laundromat around. Glenda picked me up at 7:45 with a goal to be first in line for the washers, which we were. We waited on the covered deck and chatted as we looked out over the anchorage. Out the door on the other side of the building dwarf banana trees struggled to hold their bountiful yield. Even the view while loading the dryer is perfect. It sure beats my view while doing laundry in our basement back home. Even the sign is great, No swearing. Meanwhile, Barry was back on Crossroads working on a few maintenance projects. Glenda and I made a quick stop in for a final resupply of homemade bread and then headed back to our boats. Ti Amo soon hoisted their anchor and headed on out. We made a final trash run and then decided to have lunch before pulling up the hook and also heading north. Technically, I guess we're on our way home.


It was a short trip up to Big Major's Spot. We anchored behind Ti Amo, just off of Pig Beach. Rex and Amy from Xtasea came over to say hello and we later joined them for appys aboard their boat. The pleasant surprise of the day was having Jaxon come and entertain me for a few hours while his mom and dad went to dinner. We played. He slept. We played some more. I scratched his ears and enjoyed every minute. Hope Jaxon did as well. He was smiling. A beautiful sunset perfectly capped off another great day.
