Friday 29 January – Black Point– Big Majors Spot. Exumas Bahamas 10 miles.

Tim and Di were due to arrive Friday morning after missing the last flight on Thursday, we borrowed Lorraine’s (of the famous Lorraine’s café) Golf cart and with Lorraine’s mum riding shot gun navigated our way to Black Point International Aero Puerta (BPIA).

Tim & Diane arrived with our wish list goodies, spare toilet pump assembley and 5000 AA batteries along with lots of other drinkable goodies. Not thinking about what we had asked our friends to carry on the flight the TSA folks were definitely concerned about the contents of Tims luggage. The spare toilet pump assembly was a very suspicious looking apparatus and why would anyone need so many AA batteries?Thankfully it was determined that Tim and Di were not the "toilet bombers" and Mr pump assembly was allowed onboard- thank you Tim and Diane.


We loaded our guests and luggage onto Querencia and sailed up to Sampson Cay to get some water, diesel, gasoline and very expensive New York Strips (Tim & Di, you’re worth it).

Back from Sampson down to Big Majors where we anchored of Piggy Beach. Dinghy Op into Piggy Beach to feed the pigs. Tim bravely hopped in the water to feed the pig some food scraps, the pig got pretty excited at the sight of 6’2” and 220 lbs of food and swam in Tim’s direction at a speed of about 7 knots. The approaching hungry piggy got Timmy moving thru the water more like a Navy SEAL then a Navy Pilot… watch out for Timmy on youtube!

Tim & Diane arrives at BPIA...
