February 20-23     Between the Majors to Little Bay, Great Guana Cay 
On our final night Between the Majors, we were pleased to see a familiar face from home drop anchor right next to us. He is a former coworker who taught history to all of our girls. We’ve run into him a few times over the years during cruises on Lake Michigan. In fact, the last time we saw him sailing was five years ago when he was on his way out of the Great Lakes and heading south. He, along with many others, provided inspiration to us as we dreamed of taking our own boat to salty cruising grounds someday. We enjoyed spending the evening with him and look forward to another rendezvous in the coming weeks. 
The following morning, we pulled anchor and headed to Great Guana Cay. The winds were steady at 18 and gusting to 22. Great sailing weather!! We were going into the wind at first, but soon fell off and enjoyed the downwind run to our destination. 
After a quick lunch and boat clean-up, we took the dinghy to shore and headed over the rocky terrain to town. It’s about a 5-mile walk round trip. We got lucky because a third of the way there a nice gentleman offered us a ride. He has spent a lifetime working on boats and knew all about our trip down the rivers as he had done it a number of times. 

In town, we stopped at a couple of stores and got eggs and a lime. Oh, and Peter got an Oh Henry! bar and an ice cream treat. I managed to help him out with both sweets! 
The walk back was long, but it felt good to be on firm ground. The landscape here continues to amaze me. It is dry, dry, dry and so rocky. There is neither soil nor water to speak of. I cannot imagine how these islands were settled. It’s beautiful here, but the land is so harsh. 
We rounded out our visit to Blackpoint by doing some boat projects and kayaking around the bay. It’s a pretty little spot with sandy beaches and beautiful rock formations along the shore.
