Big Majors, Exumas, Bahamas (anchored)
May 2, 2022
There are three beaches visible from our anchorage: Pig Beach, Cruisers Beach and Dog Beach. In between the beaches are rocks, caves, and vegetation, so each beach is very separate from one another.
We are furthest from Pig Beach – we can see it but we are not near enough to be disturbed by the myriad boats that land there.
Today a sea plane landed there. It seems as if the pigs are used to it, as they got close to the plane. Of course they know that people generally bring food.
Seaplanes take off into the wind so this one had to taxi through a very busy anchorage to get far enough out to get the wind. We are used to seeing dinghies, paddle boards, and occasional jet skies wend their way through anchored boats. Today we got to watch this plane do it.
Once it got out far enough it turned back and seemed to line up with Lailia. It flew directly over us.
Cruisers Beach is the closest beach to Lailia. It’s tradition to leave a token for Neptune. Tonight we added our whale to the collection. Our friends Chris and Sarah gave us this whale when they sold their boat. We made sure we added their boat name to honor them.
Apparently the pigs don’t read maps well because one showed up at Cruisers Beach tonight. She came out of the woods and did a circuit around the tables and the beach itself, no doubt hoping for dropped food.
Pigs need to stay on their own beach and not come out of the woods at night.

Wow! What an awesome contribution to the cruising community. A whale! Such a neat treat to be part of the community and we are a million miles apart!! Thank you for bringing your beautiful energy to the islands. ❤ Dos Capitanas
