Blackpoint, Exuma

Blackpoint , Exuma, Bahamas

Blackpoint is a small settlement boasting a population of approximately 350 very friendly people. One of our favorite spots on this island is the Scorpio Inn because they have great deals for happy hour and FREE tasty appetizers.It is also a great place to meet some of the other boaters, catch a Rays game, or access the internet.

We enjoyed some very tender conch and an awesome snapper filet sandwich at Lorraine’s Café while we caught up with our buddies on Silver Girl, who we met while cruising here three years ago. Robert and Diane supplied us with a plethora of  helpful information from here all the way to the Chesapeake. What a great reunion we had. One of the best parts of the cruising lifestyle is meeting old friends along the way.

Where's the street?

We took a wonderful stroll through the community and because it is Easter break, there are children here from many of the surrounding settlements. Their antics were visible all around the community, but they were all very well-behaved and polite as they are used to strangers arriving daily to invade this small picturesque town.

Making straw baskets

After being anchored here for two very calm days, we awaited for the approaching front. Many more boats poured into the harbor for a respite from the storms that were heading our way. We had loads of much needed rain which helped us replenish our water supply. It’s amazing how quickly two people can use 100 gallons of water.  

Where's OPA? That is Danny on the dock.
