| Osprey Cay, Exuma |
This morning our sailors woke up on their final morning to the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach, mere feet from their tent, wind rushing through the palm fronds and sand hiding in places they didn't even know existed.
The wind came out strong today, blowing around 20 mph. According to Dallas, the sailors loved the extra boost it provided. They had a little race to the pigs I believe. When one of them landed on the beach, I believe she exclaimed, "That was the best sail ever!" It is way more fun to sail these boats rather than drift in them ;)
A visit to these crazy swimming pigs is always on the schedule of events for this day of the trip. As is a trip the Thunderball Grotto, a really cool place to snorkel!
The group then heads over to the nearby island of Staniel Cay. Once here, they make their way to Isles Inn run by the sweet Vivian Rolle. This is where the group stays their night in Staniel Cay. As all the guest go enjoy some long hot showers and cool air conditioning, Dallas and Tazy work to get the boats and gear all secure and ready for their tow back home Saturday morning.
What's in that box?
Breakfast: Oatmeal & fruit
Lunch: Salami, hummus, cheese, crackers, fruits & veggies
Dinner: at a local place on Staniel Cay
They enjoyed one final group dinner at a little local restaurant on the island. Then everyone is usually pretty ready for a bed out of the sand :)
In a few shorts hours, Dallas & Tazy begin their trek back to Great Exuma to meet me up in Barraterre to start our clean-up process from the trip. All the boats & gear come out of the water and get towed back down the island where they are all cleaned and prepped to go back out again. This is the not so fun part about it all, but it's like dish duty after a yummy meal ;)
Meanwhile, the guests are all being flown back from Staniel Cay to Great Exuma on a little 6 seater charter plane. The flight takes about 20 minutes. They usually try to find Dallas with his trail of boats and buzz him from the air. I'll meet them all at the airport with their luggage they left with us and souvenir t-shrits. Then we say our farewells and hope everyone had a fantastic time. Dallas has been raving about what a great group this has been, so hopefully they all feel the same.
Thanks for following along with me. I know it hasn't been super detailed, but until he gets home, I don't even get to hear all the fun stories out there myself. He's taken lots of footage in plans for another amazing video of his (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEWk-e3J_c2PSP7Bm7BL_w) for the trip... stay tuned for more!
