2001 - 6/13 - 6/14 - Rum Cay

See BLUE MAX on the right
We walked back to the government docks via the beach.  Molly, as usual, stopped at every shady spot along the way – what a smart dog. Well, look at that...it's time for happy hour. We stopped at Kaye’s which is across the dirt road from the government dock. It’s a neat restaurant with tile floor on the restaurant side and a sand floor on the bar side. We met Terry & Sandy from

Toronto, the couple from the only other boat in the anchorage - We had a long chat then decided to have dinner together. Same menu: choice of chicken, fish, cracked conch with rice, peas
Kaye's kids
& Cole slaw served at 6:30. It was delicious – I, of course, had the cracked conch, Wayne had fish.  Wonderful day. We decided it might be nice to retire on Rum Cay. Thursday, 6/14  Just another beautiful day in paradise. We snorkeled the reefs near the boat but decided to wait for the seas to calm a bit before we went exploring in the dinghy. Apparently, there is an awesome south wall worth a scuba dive or at least a snorkel trip.Wayne was invited to join another couple on a dive but he declined...said he had to be ‘mentally’ ready for a dive. Since I don’t dive, I’m not sure what that means. That afternoon we snorkeled near the wall – exceptionally clear. There were lots of elk horn corals.We had a nice day until it was time for me to get back into the dinghy.  Since we had forgotten the latter, I had a terribly frustrating time but, after multiple attempts, I finally made it in the boat. I felt like, and probably looked like, a beached whale! We showered on the swim platform then headed to the marina for happy hour.

 I just loved this place! I’d love for the Summerland house to have the same atmosphere as the inside of this restaurant. This is a high-end restaurant, Bahamian style but the same formula goes here as well; make reservation; order your food; show up at 6:30.The tables were impeccably set, very basic, but very elegant.

The end to yet another wonderful day in paradise.
