Yesterday we were still at anchor at Big Majors Spot when a large motor yacht came powering in and anchored behind us. We noticed her name – Pirate. She had also been here on our first visit to Big Majors a few weeks ago. The beach opposite us has been unofficially named Pirate’s beach as the couple on Pirate had apparently done a lot to clean the beach and place new furniture there after Hurricane Irene!
As I started lifting my anchor and we moved off I noticed Pirate lifting her anchor and moving into the spot we had just vacated 
It was a good spot:)
So we headed round to Staniel Cay for some fuel and liquid supplies and then headed towards Warderick Wells. It was a lovely trip north – windy and swelly but from behind us so we weren’t too bothered. Estelle spent the whole 3 hours on the foredeck enjoying the sun and view.
Heading towards Warderick Wells we weren’t too hopeful of getting a mooring ball – usually you have to radio in the day before and get your name on the waiting list. Fortune smiled on us and we got a ball immediately Apparently all the boats had left that morning, like us, taking advantage of the fair traveling weather.
We picked up mooring ball #11, had a leisurely lunch and then dinghied to Park HQ to register, pay for the ball and buy some internet time.
Enjoyed another meal of delicious Mahi Mahi and then repaired to bed!!
This morning we were out early and hiked up to the blow holes and Boo Boo Hill. We got to the blow holes just at high tide and enjoyed the noise of the surf blowing through them but there was little spray as the swell had died down. Then continued to Boo Boo hill, found the sign we had left on our last visit and stacked it on the pile again.
On the beach again we met a few other couples who had come in today – a couple from the UK as well as a SA couple based in Florida.
Soon we’ll be off to the beach again for “pot luck” sundowners with all the other boaters who have arrived today filling up this mooring field.
It still looks wonderful.
