Staniel…..home of the 007 Thunderball Grotto…and “Pig Beach” aka Big Majors

On our way South we stopped off for a few days near Staniel Cay which is also near where some scenes from the James Bond movie Thunderball was filmed.  These were shot at the aptly named “Thunderball Grotto” ……We also hit Big Majors which is the Cay famous for the pigs who live on the island.

This is a shot of Kim which we made for a good friend’s son who needed photos for a project with words or phrases describing him.   We thought it would be fun to add a pig….

Dinghy ride Piggy ??? Mike standing “guard” over the dinghy …..

So cute….

 

 

 

 

 

This was an odd one ….I’ve never seen a nurse shark with these kind of markings….

I'm the average sailor...converted from a landlubber of course. While I was born with a love of the ocean it has evolved into a love of sailboats and other vessels that ply the open seas and connected waterways. I am probably like most of the people who (hopefully) will read our blog with the exception that we are now doing what we always dreamed of doing and I hope to help others do the same. I am NOT any of the following...a naval architect, a marine surveyor or connected commercially to any builder, distributor or boat sales organization. My opinions are generally my own, although influenced by many years of research.
