Black Point

This is the anchorage at Black Point, Great Exuma, the southernmost point of our trip.  From here, we're headed home by way of about a dozen more cays.

Dinner at Lorraine's Restaurant & Internet Cafe is a must for most cruisers.  The fish and conch are done Bahamian style.

"De Mail Boat" comes once a week or so to these islands, delivering fresh vegetables and all sorts of special orders. 


Its arrival triggers a flurry of activity all over Black Point.  People pick up their goods, then clean out the grocery stores.

After checking out the newly arrived groceries we walked across the island to the beach.  On the way we found a blowhole -- a deep hole in the rock, open to the water in the bottom, which makes a guyser or a fine mist when hit by waves.

Nancy found this on the beach and wondered what took a bite out of it.
