Got the Dinghy going
Flo's Restaurant and family residence
Waiting to get my hair cut
We have spent a little over a week at our last stop in the Berrys, Little Harbour Cay. Our book says that it was once the most important Cay in the Berrys, with sponge fishermen who raised cattle and had crops of guava, sisal and coconut. There was a sponge blight in the '30s which forced most of them to move and now there is only one family living there. They are well known among cruisers as Flo has a restaurant where she cooks fish and conch in Bahamian style, and will bake bread to order. The anchorage is lovely, with the signature turquoise waters and large rays gliding along the bottom. We have shared the anchorage with a few other boats coming and going during our time here, but still very quiet and peaceful. We finally got our dinghy motor operational here, and Chris cut my hair in a memorable salon on a deserted beach. Though we have been in the Berrys for some time we haven't even begun to see all of them. It will have to wait for another visit as our schedule is demanding that we start moving north in order to meet the conditions set by our insurance company.
