Last day at Staniel Cay

Hi F &F
We are so enjoying it here that we decided  to stay another day.Have to get out of the slip as a big boat is coming in  around 1 pm. so we will anchor out nearby. But first ! Graeme and I decided to go for a walk around 8 am check out the airport and the supermarket run by the local Pastor . Nice and cool at that time of day. Bought some ginger beer, my favorite and then checked out the airport Many people just fly in to stay at the cottages .One of the yacht's captain's. had just dropped off a couple who had come for the weekend.They were taking a direct flight back to Naples Florida.Takes about 3 hours by air in a small Cessna airplane. Decided to have dinner at the Staniel restaurant attached to the Staniel YC. The plan is you order your dinner off the menu by 5 pm , then at 7 pm a bell is rung and you all file in for dinner .For $29 we got a potato soup , coleslaw salad, grilled fresh fish , rice and peas ( a Bahamian speciality) and asparagus, and fourth course was asparagus cake ( a first).Actually it tasted pretty good ,bit like a carrot cake with lots of spices . What we loved about this place is people are genuinely happy and friendly. Puts everyone in a good mood.
Over and Out
