Our anchorage, across the harbour from George Town, at Sand Dollar Beach on Stocking Island offered us some good protection from the strong winds that passed through the Bahamas.
I prefer when the humans anchor on this side of the harbour because it affords me easy access to all the hikes and beaches on the island.
But it does mean that if the humans want to go to town they need to either move the ‘big’ boat and anchor on the ‘Town’ side of the harbour or they have to take a short dingy ride across. In strong winds, that dingy ride is going to be wet and bumpy. They were up for some fun and took the wet option.
If you have read the earlier blog on the town, you will know it was a quick tour and it is just like the boys to end up at the Exuma Yacht Club for a beer.
Roy proudly wore his environmentally sound, entirely recycled flotsam finds.
They picked up a few groceries from the market and got ready for tomorrows big day.
It was my job to drag him all over Stocking island in the morning so the humans could decorate the boat and bake him some cake as a surprise! They found all the ingredients, not so easy in the Bahamas, to cook him up a proper British ‘Fat Boys’ breakfast.
To wear it off Roy fancied a game of Volleyball on the famous Chat and Chill Beach.
Roy was straight in there making new friends and joining the game. And he was very good at it!
He was invited back to join in the game the next day.
The humans finished off the day with Mahi Mahi (left overs from the Staniel Cay catch) green Thai curry and another birthday cake.
We hope we distracted Roy from missing his family and friends back home on his Birthday.

Happy Birthday Roy! Fat Boy cake, vollyball on the beach and mahi mahi with great friends. What a perfect birthday. Big nugs to all!
Roy says thanks for the birthday wish, and he has enjoying being spoilt. To bad he has to fly away, onto other adventures, tomorrow.
Hello to all…..Looks like everyone had a great day…Happy Birthday to Roy ! I’m sure he has never celebrated a birthday like this one with April , Caine and Quin…it will go down in his own private “history Book” Great to see you all having fun. We are getting some very cold weather here albeit lovely and sunny. Just a bit of Canadian news for you….The whole city of Winnipeg has been placed on a ” Boil Water Advisory ” due to e-coli ….it has never. in the history of Winnipeg had the whole city under the advisory at one time….Now there is an inconvenience for Tim Hortons and McDonalds for sure….Always love receiving your emails….Stay safe and have fun….Hugs Rose
Roy enjoyed your kind birthday wish. He does say he has not missed donuts and burgers while here. Last night of lobster and then he is off on more travels. We will miss his company.
I think the prize for most trendy sandal should go to Roy’s right foot.
We found that everyone seemed to lose only a left shoe.
Roy had to search for a week to find a right shoe.
He hopes he has started a new trend!
