Hangin’ at Great Guana Cay
Crew of Good Karma
Today and yesterday were great “vacation” days for us. We pulled into Great Guana Cay to dock for the first time since Florida. I went for a (too) long run on the Cay, past the second homes of the wealthy all along the island. There seems to be a bit more money and fewer people on this island than any of the others we’ve been to so far. Shelly made bread and did more computer work, her favorite activity outside of sailing. The first night here I slept the sleep of the dead. I did wake up once at 3 a.m. to prove to myself I wasn’t dead, saw the lunar eclipse.
Today we went to a little farmer’s market in the morning and bought some fresh fruit to stave off scurvy. Then we went for a walk along the beaches and watched the big waves coming off the Atlantic. In the afternoon we headed to “Grabbers,” a beach bar and had our share of tropical drinks and lunch.
On the way back to the boat I bought a couple of Cuban cigars. Right out of Havana. Can’t find them in the states. I smoked one and it was somewhat smoother than others. Pretty good, but not exponentially better than U.S. “legal” cigars.
We’re hanging out here probably until Monday morning and then the plan is to head to Marsh Harbor to provision up for the further passage south.
