We finally tore ourselves away from Big Majors. The wind had settled a bit. We had also run out of water, so we had to make our way to Staniel to fill our tanks. After refuelling of gas and filling water we made a quick anchor stop. Connor and I jumped in the dinghy and made our way to Staniel Cay to get a few provisions at the store. The mail boat was scheduled to arrive today so the fruits and veggies from last mail boat run were looking a little shrivelled from the heat. We managed to find some cheese and a lovely homemade coconut bread to add to our grocery mix. We made it back to the boat and weighed anchor for Pipe Cay. We had a quick tour of the abandoned Decca Station there and then moved a few miles north where we were all alone with exception of a couple of sea birds that enjoyed a rest on the dinghy as they watched the sun set. Connor did the honours of blowing the conch as the sun slipped beyond the horizon. During our tour of the Decca Station ruins we found a small bundle of wire in the rubble. Connor has been dying to make jewellery with his sea glass and started twisting a few sea glass pendants with the copper wire that he cleaned up. They looked great for his first try!
