SCORPION'S. BLACK POINT, EXUMAS

At Scorpion's, Black Point, Exumas

Hey we are alive and well down here with 4 young men. Our two boys and their two buddies are enjoying the sun, paddleboard, kayak, shell collecting and of course the drinking establishment here on Black Point. Scorpion's is the local gathering bar that has two for one rum punches, $3 beers and $2 wine for “Happier Hour” 4pm to 6pm on Fridays. This place also is the local hang out for the locals from Black Point and neighbouring islands in the evening with DJ music. The boys came back for a free dinner on board then Paul drove them over in the dinghy to have a night of partying. They were the only tourists in the place so everyone was talking with them. They are a little tired this morning! Black Point is THE place for laundry ($3.50 for a wash and same for a dry). I did four loads while enjoying the free internet. The boys of course were enjoying the island and locals.

Our son's friend Matt W. wanted to hold a starfish and get a picture. He seemed nervous to hold it but I encouraged him to just hold it backwards so the “suction” cups on the underside don't stick to his hand. He liked that much better and was less nervous.

Look Ma!

Our “plan” is to head back to Staniel Cay tomorrow and snorkel the Thunderball Grotto cave. Plan is in quotes because boaters should not have plans (only in extreme circumstances like catching a flight!).
