Forest Gump Moment and Staniel Cay

The Sea Hawk at anchor

"I'm pretty tired, I think I'll go home now".  That is what Forest Gump had to say when he stopped running.  We left Duluth, MN on June 12, 2017 and almost 4000 miles ago, we have been moving south ever since.  Well, we zipped through Highborne and Norman Cay after leaving Rose Island and kept going south.  We got to Staniel Cay and set the anchor, sat down in the cock pit, looked at other and said almost simultaneously, "Let's just stay here for a couple of months and stop going south".  So here we have been for the the last month, exploring the cays around Staniel.

There is a small grocery store at Highborne Cay

Staniel Cay is a fun place with Thunderball Grotto and Pig Beach (Big Major Cay).  There is a small settlement with two stores, Berke's and Pearl, AKA the blue and pink stores.  There is also the yellow house where you can get great bakery items.  Bruce was able to pick up a new bathing suit at Lyndsey's Boutique.  We have our laundry washed at Ruth's which is also a liquor store.  The Bahamian Kalik beer is great!  There is a BTC office and an airport.  What more does one need?
