A Bientot to the Cambios
09 April 2011 | Staniel Cay
MiMi and PaPa
We said farewell to Jenny, Matt, Joe, Nick and Will after an action packed wrap up tour of Big Majors, Fowl Cay, Thunderball Grotto, and Staniel Cay by golf cart. The night prior to our dive at Thunderball, the kids watched the 007 movie (vintage 1965) and deemed it rather lame, Even so, they were still in awe of the under water cavern and even identified the rocky ledge where Sean Connery perched in a final scene of the film. The beach hike at Staniel was a hit as we climbed the rocky ledges overlooking the Atlantic Ocean with the surf crashing below. We added rocks to the many cairns along the way, sending our own thoughts and prayers as is the custom. Of special note was the shark feeding at the fish cleaning station on our last evening. Over 15 6-8 foot sharks and several large rays swarmed the dock area to claim bits of offal, providing entertainment for the kids. Early the next morning, the 16 passenger "island hopper" arrived appropriately on island time and the Cambios all boarded for Nassau and then back to 32 degree Milwaukee. We hope the time shared on A Bientot will be the basis for dreams of sailing, snorkeling, dinghying and the unique array of flora and fauna from the sea.
