Bread delivery

Day #18: The days are now becoming a blur of sand, sea, and wind. To break things up a bit this morning we went ashore on Staniel and visited the blue market (3 bananas and 12 eggs--$6.50), the yellow bakery (a loaf of coconut bread--$6) and breakfasted at the Yacht Club.

In our anchorage is a classic 50' wooden yawl whose best days are behind it. Aboard are four young people working hard to keep it afloat. Two of the crew visited us offering to sell freshly baked rosemary bread. Today's picture is of the bread's dinghy-to-dinghy pass off ($5 for a big loaf--very good too).

In a light rain we left Staniel Cay and worked our way 10nm southeast to Black Point. Black Point is the second largest settlement in the Exumas. Walking around the village you get a sense for how hard life is out here. 10nm run today and 419nm total. DBH
