Black Point

A short six mile sail from Staniel Cay to one of the best laundromats and homemade carrot cake in the Bahamas is at Black Point. Actually, it is better than some of the marinas in the states having 12 washers and 12 dryers with each load costing $3.50.  We needed to do four loads including sheets, towels, jeans and sweatshirts that we have been wearing during the cold spell.  After the laundry was finished and carrot cake safely tucked away for after dinner, we walked down the street to Lorraine's Cafe for a burger, fries, beer and coke.  While waiting for our lunch, we were able to connect to the internet and catch up on the news on CNN.  Lorraine's mom also bakes some of the best Bahamian bread in all of the islands.  We grabbed a loaf of coconut since the white was sold out.  The $5 loaf is so worth it!  Also Black Point is one of the few islands that lets you deposit your trash and fill up your containers of R/O (Reverse Osmosis) water for free.  We departed the island in the early afternoon for our evening anchorage which will be at Galliot Cay, putting us five minutes from the inlet (cut) for our morning departure to Georgetown.
