Monday, April 28, 2025, continued… After we’d had our fill of watching the pigs, we continued on towards town.

This was the tip of the anchorage that we were in, looking toward the anchorage closer to town.

We passed an ominous looking sunken vessel. We wondered what caused it to sink.

We went to the yacht club for lunch. This was the dinghy landing area.

Looking back at the dinghy area from the walkway. The dock behind it was the fuel dock.

The buildings to the right between the dinghy area and fuel dock were small cottages, apparently units rented by the yacht club.

We were confused about how to secure the dinghy as there were no hooks or cleats in the rocks. We realized the other dinghies had tied lines all the way around the rocks, so we did, too.

The dock had some big boats.

The edge of the marina dock was loaded with sea creatures.

This was one of the two restaurants, with a tiny attached chandlery, at the yacht club. This was the reasonably priced restaurant. The other restaurant, seen the picture of the dinghy area above, was pricey.

This was the bar area of the yacht club

After we were done eating, we walked down the shoreline a little way to scope out the other restaurant with a dinghy dock. This was the walkway out to the street.

This was the view of the beach from the street near the the marina, looking northwest.

Directly next the yacht club was a cemetery.

Looking back at the marina/yacht club/hotel from the northern end of the beach in the above photo.

Per the sign, this was the bakery, but it didn’t look open today.

This was the other restaurant with a dinghy dock. We didn’t take a photo of the dock, but Eric determined the yacht club was an easier place to take the dinghy than this dock.

Even though we’d only passed a handful of buildings on our short walk, we noted the majority were under construction. One looked like a new build right on the water. Two buildings were adding second stories. The others looked like they were having renovation work done.

When we headed back to Kosmos, the tide was going out and the current was strong. On our way back, we scoped out The Grotto, one of the main tourist attractions in Staniel Cay. It was a cave under one of the small rock islands in the bay. The cave was only partially submerged at low tide, so low tide was the time to go. After seeing where people anchored their dinghies and exactly where the entrance was, we felt like we were prepared, and planned to go tomorrow. This video is long, but it showed both the strong current and the grotto.

It was another quiet night aboard. Here was the sunset.
