Great Guana Cay has a seven mile beach and the island is not more than 400 yards wide at any point. The barrier reef makes for amazing snorkeling and diving.
We’re still leaving and heading back to Florida — really! — we’re not just trying to find excuses to stay here…
But our crossing has been delayed and so has our departure. So we took the opportunity to head over to Great Guana Cay with Mike and Keith and Bobbie for a bite of lunch at the famous Nipper’s.
We sailed over on Mike’s boat the Casey Dee. The voyage took about two hours each way and at one point I was below and Bob was at the helm.
Mike has a 33-foot Alajuela and it is a great salty boat, which Mike has been singlehanding for many years. He is amazing to watch…his ease and calm come from all his experience and training as a licensed captain.
At one point the auto pilot took over and Mike and Keith and Bob were on the bow and Bobbie and I and Charles were chatting in the cockpit. It was a lovely sail at 5 knots with just the jib. Winds were 15 to 20 knots from the north.
At Nipper’s — Thanks to Mike for taking pics of me and Bob together. I’ve trained him up on my back button focus and he does and great job!
While walking on the beach, Bob took Charles off the leash just at the time that a little white poodle showed up. Charles took a fancy to her and raced off and up the steep wooden staircase with Bob in hot pursuit. What a little devil he can be. After that he was tired so he just laid under the table while we ate (Charles, not Bob!)
Oh, it’s mighty hard to leave this beautiful part of the world.
Happy Easter to all of our family and friends!

This is so lovely!!
You are living the dream, Sherry! Hope you had a wonderful Easter…and hope Charles is all rested up!
I am a little late in hoping Easter was good, but looking at the images how could it not be. That beach is awesome. So good to see you, hubby and of course the wonderful little charlie.
What lovely shots of your watery life, Sherry! I also love the crashing wave in that first one!
Enjoying the spring over here and soon off to go to England!
I love the stories of your travels. Sounds so adventuresome. Even Charles gets the romance of travel. Love the photo of you and Bob . Safe travels coming back.
What a beautiful way to spend a day, Sherry.
I hope you both had a beautiful Easter.
It looks so idyllic i’d find it so hard to leave! I’d love to run bare-footed along the sand in the first photo!
When weather has you “stuck”, it’s great to be stuck in a beautiful place, in the sunshine no less! That beach looks lovely, and does the photo of you and Bob. I use back button focus too – will never go back to the old way.
Beautiful photos and looks as if you are having the perfect time. Glad you are using caution and waiting for the seas to be right for your return sail. I laughed about charles running off…. I have experienced that myself, only was at 11000 foot altitude and the chase nearly killed me. Enjoy every moment of your time on this adventure, and happy easter!
Happy Easter, to you and Bob … and Charles, the little rascal! {But that’s a Westie for you.}
