When Pigs Swim


Here is a photo album from our time in the Staniel Cay - Guana Cay area.

Pigs definitely were not among the “sea life” we expected to find in the Bahamas, but a few swimming swine call one of the beaches off Staniel Cay home. They are quite friendly... to the point of trying to join visitors in their dinghies if given the opportunity!

While at Staniel, we snorkeled in the famous Thunderball Cave... very cool spot, but we didn’t think our camera - what with not being waterproof - would enjoy the trip inside as much as the rest of us did.

We also failed to photograph last night’s eclipse of the moon, but hope you were able to see it too... we had an amazing view from our friends’ boat, Coxily, where we were having a “pizza-eclipse” party. Yes, you can make pizza on a boat... we prepared 6 in fact. Their cabin was pretty much wall-to-wall pizza for a time, but with 6 kids aboard and 4 adults, they didn’t last long.

We’re posting today from Lorraine’s Café at Black Point. As you know from their most recent “Reports from the Field”, the kids attended classes at the Settlement’s All-Age School yesterday. Jake in particular was relieved to learn he could visit for the day without having to wear a tie. Drew actually decided to dress up... which for him means a collared shirt!



We continue to spend a lot of time in the water and under it, as well as exploring many friendly Bahamian communities along the way. Tomorrow, we’ll continue to make our way south toward Georgetown... slowly (at least for as long as our provisions hold out!).
