We reluctantly left Warderick Wells, but had a great incentive to travel further south. We love Staniel Cay also, and had good friends there waiting patiently for us to catch up with them. Bob and Stephanie on September Song had been hailing us on the VHF for days, but couldn't hear our response. We e-mailed when we could, telling them we were headed their way when the weather gods allowed. Wednesday was the day, with favorable winds (but not the sailing kind). We arrived in Staniel early afternoon, just in time to head for the beach where firewood was being gathered for an evening bonfire. We weren't sure if it was Redemption Island or Exile Island (it was Wednesday, after all), but the beach was great. We caught up with Bob and Stephanie, Stephen and Pam (m/v Tide's In), Patrick, Amy and Aspen (m/v Island Girl), Bob and Elaine (m/v Mar Azul), Barb and Dave (m/v Hallelujah), Linda and Al (m/v Signature), and Joe and Julia (m/v Sea Pearl). Rusty and Nancy (s/v Summer Wind) traveled with us, so there was quite a crowd on the beach for fun, sand, cooking, sharing dishes, and of course an adult beverage or two.
