Pictures from Black Point and Staniel

This is the inside of the Staniel Cay Yacht Club.  The flags are from all over the world donated by visiting boaters.  It has a great bar and restaurant. 

Our friends from Sandy Beach and Dulcinea as we watch the playoff games.
Approaching Great Guana Cay you see these massive white cliffs.  We hope to walk out to see them this afternoon.

One side of the government dock has the words Welcome to Black Point and the other side, shown here, is Stick to the Point.

The back of the Rockside Laundry where I posted from yesterday.  It truly is the best laundromat in the Bahamas.  The dingy dock is seen along the shore.  A procession of dingys arrive daily with bags to wash.  The top floor offers rooms for the boaters weary of the constant motion and in need of a rest.
These colorful cottages are on the opposite side of the harbor from us.

The clinic is the largest we've seen since Nassau.

The aptly named Friendly grocery store.

This man has a fascinating collection of wood and stone arranged in different places on his property.  He points out the shape he sees in each one.  He told us that he wanted to give tourists something to do besides sit in the bars all day.  He also composts and has filled many of the sinkholes in the rock with enough dirt to grow a large variety of vegetables and many fruit trees.  One of our more fascinating stops.  Mr. Rolle calls his place the Garden of Eden.
First barnyard animal we've seen besides the ever present chickens and the swimming pigs.

This is the place where you wait for the inter-island ferrys.  Like so many places, someone has taken the time to paint a mural.

Lorraine's internet cafe, restaurant and bar.  This is where I'm posting from right now.  She also bakes awesome cakes.

This post office had a person who would take our mail.  The boat doesn't leave until Saturday and I'm not sure where it goes from here but the letter should arrive before we do.
