Black Point

We decided to come down here yesterday and sailed the whole way, all 8 miles of it, including off and on the anchor. This is a lovely little Bahamian village of perhaps 400 people. I remember sailing in here in 1987 and being the only yacht. There are about 30 anchored out here at the moment. We did our laundry at Ida's and I will probably have her cut my hair later today. Ida's laundromat is the only one I have ever been to with direct water frontage and it's own dock. She runs a fine establishment.

We went into Lorraine's Cafe last night for a beer and had a great time with the locals chatting about everything under the sun. Will go ashore later this morning for general exploration and perhaps the acquisition of an ice cream or some similar treat. The crew of the White Seal is having a great time and is hoping to stay here for a couple more days. We really like this town. Our friend from Vermont, Kathleen Patten, is not coming till the 8th. Everybody seems to know her.

Best to all, Charlie
