Cambridge Cay to Big Major Spot/Staniel Cay
We left
Cambridge Cay via the south at half-tide rising since this route is very
shallow and if we ran aground, we would have some tidal help in getting
afloat. Once again, Triumph led the way and we were soon in deep water heading
south. The wind was on our nose and we
were plowing through four foot waves.
Two other sailboats were motoring south, as well as, a few mega
yachts. It was a rough ride for 3
hours. We anchored close to shore behind
Big Major Spot. The water was
considerable calmer in the anchorage. Over
two dozen boats of all types were there, as well as, a seaplane. We anchored about 200 feet from the seaplane
figuring if the plane could handle a storm here, so could we.

Take-off.- Wake that Dinghy

Big Major and neighboring Staniel Cay are very popular because of the Thunderball Grotto,
swimming pigs and shark swim not to mention the beautiful anchorage and Staniel
Cay Yacht Club which is party central.
The anchorage was quite lively with tenders and jet skis skimming the
water at full throttle. Loud music from
a couple of mega yachts filled with young “adults” in their early 20s and clad
in the latest of beachwear or “no wear”.
The parties lasted well past midnight.
So, we didn’t feel bad running our generator past 9 PM.
