Little Farmer's Cay

This is another lovely stopover spot.  It is right at one of the cuts into the Atlantic and one of the last points this far south to make the trip out and then south to Georgetown.  We are sitting in the dry, friendly Farmer's Cay YC catching up on computer work and playing cards.  Jim and David got a full tour of the facilities by the owner.  It is currently raining so this is a great place to be right now.
Farmer's Cay Yacht Club.

Again, most of the land is very rocky.  We pulled the dingy up on a spit of sand but David is trying to find a rock that will hold the dingy at tide change.

This is Oceans Cabin club.  It is farther on into town.  Very nice people here and makers of an awesome Little Farmers surprise punch.  They took our reservations for the mooring but we went down the hill to pay another man.  Everyone on the island is related and they all help each other out.  Nice way to be.

Farmer's Cay from the mooring ball.  The cell tower is there but as per usual, doesn't always transmit a signal.  The locals have an "Oh well attitude."  I have not yet been blessed with that type of patience or understanding.

A typical house.  If you blow up the photo, you'll see the stacks of beer boxes in the yard, also typical.

This complex is just off our beam.  It is a dead resort at the very end of Great Guana Cay.  The lady at the yacht club said they had great ambitions to build a resort and marina and then found out the cost of building the marina.  They come back and do a little work then leave.  It was completely dark last night so I guess they're not there now.

The hotel section of the dead marina.

A freighter washed ashore.  That must have been one bad storm and one very sad captain.

We'll be going out the right side of the rock in the foreground tomorrow.  Should be a straight shot out.  We always hope.
