Black Point Settlement

We anchored in sand here at Black Point yesterday and caught up with Marylin and John (Blue Goose) and Tom & Maureen (Cantagree) at DeShannons for a late lunch. Bruce & Marylin Conklin, organizers of Operation Bahamas, the text book delivery program, were there too.   A few hours later, Gina and Bruce walked in.  Their boat, Dream Catcher, anchored right behind us. We had dinner with them and  a few other cruisers at Lorrianes Staurday night.

Sunday we attended the service at the Holy Bible Church where Reverend Kevin Rolle (also police chief) welcomed us. He delivered a sermon to wake the dead!  We meet Charles and Sharon, SCCA resident members and former cruisers, who live here six months each year.  We arranged for them to pick up the school books we have been carrying with us from Punta Gorda.

In the afternoon, we loaded 1/2 of the books in our dinghy; Gina & Bruce ferried the other half in their dinghy to the town dock where we loaded the books into a pickup. Then we went to Lorraines(famous for coconut bread) to use the Internet. 

My little "underwater" camera stopped working at the church so I won't be able to get anymore pictures underwater.  I still have my Nikon which I can carry in a Pelican (waterproof) case. 

More later.
