Swimming with the Pigs


   At Big Majors in the Exumas the pigs have learned they can get food tidbits from the cruisers if they swim out to the dinghys. So now "Pig Beach" is a don't miss spot on the Exuma cruising route.

   They'll be no shortage of pigs to entertain future cruisers as a new litter has just arrived. They came squealing onto the beach with momma pig, then quieted down and got down to business scrounging for food. The babies didn't go swimming, but they will learn from the older pigs soon.
   Heather on Windswept IV has written a children's book about the pigs, "The Pig Who Couldn't Swim" which has nearly sold out its first printing (250 copies) to the Exuma cruisers.


   After hunting, snorkeling, watching the pigs and collecting basket weaving palms ashore, it was time to move on south to Blackpoint.
