Thunderball

With clean laundry and a full water tank, we moved south to Staniel Cay and took a Club Thunderball mooring (see chart).



Contrary to what our guidebooks indicated, Club Thunderball does not seem to be a going concern.  We tried raising the club on VHF to no avail, and their dock looked a little iffy for a dinghy landing.  So it was bike time.

On the way to Club Thunderball, you get to see most of the island (see chart).

But, we did find Club Thunderball, and no one was home.



So, we rode back to “main street” for lunch (see chart).

Finding the experience a little below even our standards, we moved down the street to the Staniel Cay Yacht Club (see chart).

The next day we hiked a trail on the northern end of the Cay (see chart).

Did some beachcombing at Pirate Trap Beach.

Then, we snorkeled Thunderball Grotto (see chart), where a very small portion of the James Bond movie, Thunderball was filmed in 1964, and the locals have not forgotten.

Dinghies tied to a mooring while their owners dive the cave.

Serenity behind Thunderball Grotto

Thunderball Grotto is a great cave dive with assorted coral and fish.

On Sunday we are joining friends on Knott Home at SCYC for a Super Bowl Party (see David BFFL). Monday we will south to Black Point, and then on to Little Farmer’s Cay where we will be watching the weather closely.
