Lorraine of Lorraine's Cafe

We have come back to Staniel Cay as there are festivities today that we don't want to miss - Bake Sale, Raffle, Flea Market, Face Painting for Children, Barbeque, Book Sale and more! Should be fun.

We just spent about 5 days at Black Point Settlement and it was wonderful. The people there are just the best. We made friends just like in Bimini. Especially nice were Lorraine at Lorraine's Caf� and the folks who run Adderly's Market.

They have a small shop where they sell some baskets that the locals make. We watched them sitting on their porches all day long weaving - even some of the men. I purchased a nice straw bag and the lady in the picture was so happy to see me walking with it. She came right up to tell me how much she loves doing the weaving! It made me feel really good to have bought it since this is about the only way these folks make a living.

There is a Laundromat so we did laundry and were able to pick up a few groceries. The sad thing is the way the fresh produce disappears! The supply boat came in about 4:00pm and we had already returned to the boat for the day so decided just to wait until the next day. By 9:15 the next morning a whole case of romaine and all the bananas were gone. Oh, how I had looked forward to some fresh romaine! Oh, well, maybe next time! We did get some Iceberg and some celery.

So, we are back at Staniel Cay Yacht Club doing slow internet and will head to Georgetown soon. After we get to Georgetown, get some food and more cash we will head out again and maybe even come back up here. The water is so beautiful.
