76:27.61W After a 30 odd mile sail and having negotiated the shallows and
reefs on the way in we are now anchored at Big Majors Spots which is a popular
anchorage near the settlement of Staniel Cay, the main attraction being
the local “wild” pigs who as you approach the shore in a dinghy swim out to
greet you looking for hand outs, they are obviously used to being fed by the
boaters and yes I cut up some carrot and cabbage to give them not quite
expecting them to want to get in the dinghy with us! They were a little over
keen to feed which is sad but we have some great photos of them swimming out to
us – one of the pigs has a seagull sitting on its back. There are a few things
to do here, tomorrow we are going to snorkel in the Thunderball Grotto used in
the James Bond film Thunderball. |
