On to Staniel Cay, home of the Thunderball Grotto where the James Bond movie was filmed. We picked up a mooring ball, as this is another area of rip currents, and went exploring in the dinghy. First stop was Staniel Cay Yacht Club, with quaint and beautifully painted cottages for rent.
We purchased the obligatory T-shirts, and as we were leaving the dock, saw a fellow with this bountiful crayfish (lobster) catch. We inquired about purchasing some, and soon we had two lovely tails in a bag headed for the barbeque.
They feed the scraps to the sharks and manta rays that hover nearby, obviously expecting the handouts.
Next stop was Club Thunderball where we paid our mooring fee and had a welcome drink. From the hill, we could watch Monarch tugging on her mooring ball.
The next morning, we dinghied into town for a quick walkabout. There are three grocery stores, The Blue Store, The Pink Store and The Yellow Store. These are their official names, which of course are their colors! Nearby is the Happy People Marina, staffed by (you guessed it) happy people. Next stop, Little Farmer’s Cay.
