Staniel Cay to Black Pont settlement on Great Guana Cay North

Enough with Staniel Cay.  The club was nice and the town was mostly under construction and the three grocery stores were pretty sad. 

Let’s move on - South bound.  But some more diesel would be comforting as there might not be much fresh diesel until Georgetown.  There was a Cat at the fuel dock and she was taking her time.  I needed to charge the batteries so I just did circuits for almost half hour.  The club Internet was still down.  Finally I bought 9.5 gallons of diesel for 34 hours. Comes out to an hour per liter - much of which was battery charging.

I had to go to the Club booth to pay which sort of explains why the Cat took so long to fuel  

I set off for either Great Guana Cay North or Little Farmer Cay. Navionics wanted me to take the outside route.  I built a route on Aqua Map to go on the inside,  but it was shallow.  In the end I improvised and motored around Harvey Cay - a long way around, but not much shallow waters.  It was high tide.  Winds were very light and close to the nose and I needed to charge the frickin batteries. 


Took the green route



Anchored at Black Point Settlement and went ashore.  Not much to see.  A lot of new home construction, some bars and the yacht club that was big into racing and had wifi, mind you very slow. 

Not tourist at all - a nice change

Walked back to the dinghy and. me back to the boat for a nice sunset.
