Highborne Cay

Tuesday 4/7 & Wednesday 4/8/09 Internet reception was spotty at Highborne thus the goofy posting sequence.

Mostly we hung out and gawked at the mega yachts coming and going. For the most part the crews were friendly. Their passengers seemed to have their noses in the air. Too bad for them! One of the yachts was named Octopussy! We tried finding James Bond but with no luck. We spent time at the beach. Watched them feed the nurse sharks at the fish cleaning station. Witnessed just how fortunate we are when the mail boat came into port. Not only does it deliver mail, but supplies too, and acts as an inter island passenger ferry. Once a week! That's It! There are no stores on Highborne except the one at the marina. Incidentally the marina employs most of the islands occupants. Only 40 miles from Nassau but very remote.

One of the highlights was having dinner catered one night by Cool Runners catering service. I had cracked conch and Pam had grouper fingers. (I thought fish had fins?) Very good and not badly priced! One other thing. Pam made a new friend while we were there. Wilson the dock dog. We were told not to feed him but guess who can't follow the rules!
