We have been hung up here waiting for the passage of a hugh cold front. This is the system that has driven the temperature so low for the Green Bay-NY game. Stanial's is great but we have done everything we want to do and done every boat chore.
After the frontal passage we will go to Little Farmer's Cay for water, laundry, and dinner. Hopefully we can then get on to Georgetown before the next front ruins the window. The problem is not just the N. wind that the front brings, but the strong southerly flow that precedes the front. That stops voyage south just at quickly.
Stanial's Cay Yacht Club is great. Gas and diesel are $5./gal., water is 40 cents per gallon, garbage drop off is $5 per large bag, but the Kalik beer is only $4. Dinner is over the top but we did have a good lunch Sunday 1-21-08. One point--the burgee from the Susan E. II (Bob and Sue Madry) still hang high over the dining area. The burgee is dated 2004.

We are anchored off Big Majors Cay and dinghy back and forth to Staniels Cay. One of the beaches on Big Majors is called Piggy Beach and there are four pigs that hang out on the beach and greet you when you come ashore.

Hi Karl and Jan,
It looks like Jan and you are having a great time on your adventures. Are you sure you are going to come back? We watched the Packers vs. Giants game last night and Kristi was yelling at the television like only a Texas can. Take care of yourselves.

Hi Guys-we have been watching with envy your adventure. Glad to learn that our burgee is still hanging at the SCYC. You will also find Tee-s and boat cards in and on the rafters/walls when you arrive in Georgetown. Be sure and stop in Farmers on the way down or back-remember Julian that brought us the fuel? Hopefully you received the list of local contacts we sent you-if not they can be re-sent easily. Will you be going any further south than Georgetown? Enjoy the rest of your trip-maybe we'll see you out there this summer.
Bob & Sue
