Our good friends Tim and Diane Leighton from Hampton VA are due to fly in for a quick visit on Thursday 28 Jan. Black Point is one of three places in the Exumas to which one can fly in on a small plane. Black Point is the most central airport and the dinghy ride back to the boat is the shortest one so we advised Tim and Di to fly in here.
The day before they arrived was filled with boat chores, empty all the stuff out of the v-berth, find new places to store it all (aft shower full of beer…). Maria wanted to do another mega wash so we filled up the dinghy with dirty laundry and headed ashore. Unloaded it all at the laundromat dinghy dock and attempted to reverse the dingy of the dock. Word of advice – do not attempt to reverse a 10’ dinghy into 2 foot seas, you will get swamped and very wet… With my wet tail firmly in between my legs I very cautiously drove the dinghy back to government dock and proceeded to bail it out with the manual bilge pump. One soaking wet Swedish dude walked thru the settlement of Black Point back to the Laundromat with a soggy arse and very grumpy…
