Swimming Pigs



Swimming Pigs, see below...
We happened to sail into Staniel Cay on the day that the Yacht Club have their annual James Bond Party.  Rourke went as a mini Bond with his ladies in gold, you know "Goldfinger".


Rourke with the Bond Girls
Thunderball, a 007 movie was filmed here at Thunderball Cave, of course we had to see this cave, especially due to the info we received that involved cliff diving INTO the cave. Chris and Rourke were game.  Armed with the GoPro and snorkeling gear we were ready to check it out. (Will upload video footage later as wifi signal not strong enough here, please come back to check it out, its great footage of the cave diving and cliff jumping)





Our Neighbors, kids liked the look of that!

I discovered my hidden talent, "Sascha the Shark Whisperer", freaky stuff!


Contemplating

Cooome to meee....

Wow, that worked well!

Okay, okay, you will ALL get a turn...
Oh yes, and it was a first for 2 things, our first baked loaf of bread (thanks Steve and Jess for the breadmaker!), it was simply delicious!  The second, was using our new washing machine, yaaay, a definite plus, no more looking for laundromats.




Staniel Cay is also well known for its swimming pigs, they live on the beach where the yachts anchor and they swim out to greet and eat!  So funny to see it...  underwater video footage of pigs swimming will be uploaded asap (bad wifi here!)

Such a strange sight, pigs on the beach


Welcome to readers in the Bahamas!


Lastly, to all the readers, it is really frustrating for me not being able to get the news out more regularly, they don't even have internet cafe's here, I suppose that is what paradise is all about, being lost in it...
