Smile Because It Happened

Big Major's Spot   

Our morning began with a quick trip into the beach with Ti Amo for some much needed leg stretching. Jaxon raced up and back through the sand for half an hour, but also stopped for an occasional swim. From there it was back onboard to reset for lunch at Staniel Cay Yacht Club. Crossroads and Ti Amo joined Xtasea, River Rat and Spartina in our own little Deltaville reunion. Conversation drifted back and forth from weather to virus, and the ramifications of each. Ti Amo and River Rat will depart tomorrow and head north. The rest of us will hang around the southern Exumas a bit longer and look to head further east. Glenda and I enjoyed some frozen refreshment in celebration of all the smiles shared over some great days together. Following lunch, we moved outside where colorful bougainvillea hedges lined the sidewalks. Blooms of red, pink, fuchsia, and salmon all mixed together in a vibrant display.


After a few quick photos, our group split up with these three holding down the fort while the others walked up to check out the three grocery stores. We checked off most of our shopping lists and also found a few unexpected treats. If you're looking for toilet paper, the Pink Store in Staniel Cay has a good supply. Happy to find fresh milk, we took it directly back to the refrigerator onboard. A little afternoon reading was interrupted by a shower, but it moved through quickly and we all gathered on Pirate Beach for late afternoon appys.


A farewell dinner aboard Ti Amo ended our five days together. Waiting four months for this reunion was tough. Our time together has flown by, but we have made many great memories to keep us going until our next reunion in May. We will definitely smile while remembering what just happened here in the Exumas. Thankfully, we have plenty of photos to help.
