Wednesday 13 – Thursday 14 January–Big Majors Spot – Black Point, Exumas Bahamas. 7 miles.

We headed down to Black Point, the largest settlement in the Exuma chain with approximately 200 inhabitants, located on Great Iguana Cay.

It was nice to experience a real Bahamian settlement. The people of Black Point are very hospitable and friendly. Everyone waves hello and is genuinely happy to see you. The chislers head to school in green and yellow uniforms and always greet you with a smile.

Black Point also has a great Laundromat so Maria, the Laundry Queen, was ecstatic and used about 9 of the 12 available machines – monster wash

We had lunch at Lorraine’s, rented a golf cart from Adderley’s Friendly Supermarket and drove around the island as far as our golf cart could go. The roads are well maintained in the CBD but as soon as the houses thin out the condition and terrain changes dramatically. We didn’t want to wreck our wheels on the harsh terrain which otherwise required a serious ATV.
