Staniel Cay - 2 Apr

     Big Majors is adjacent to Staniel Cay, which is the main tourist spot in the central Exumas. Staniel Cay has an airport with service to Nassau and to Fort Lauderdale. The Staniel Cay Yacht Club has several rental bungalows that sit right at the waters edge. Unfortunately, the word is out on how superb this vacation destination is and airfares are quite expensive.

    The best deal is to rent a bungalow at the Yacht Club and include one of the Boston Whaler runabouts in the rental package. 

   We arrive by dinghy from our anchorage over at Big Majors. You can see a couple of the Yacht Club bungalows behind the dock here. 

   This is the main street of downtown Staniel Cay. There actually are a few cars on the island but normal transpo is by golf cart or walking. There are a couple small grocery stores and one hardware store.

   Today there was a small market ongoing at the main street intersection.

   After walking around town and a good hike out to the island dump to drop our garbage off, it was time for a rest and tropical local IPA.  Tourist prices - $10 per glass, but at least it was 16ozs.
