Winds moved more northerly and were a bit strong while we were at Great Guana Cay. We found some shelter from the winds just outside Fishers Bay and from there took the dinghy to Grabbers. Grabbers is a a small beach side resort with an active bar, small pool, and beach. It is a hangout popular with cruisers as well as those staying on the island. We enjoyed their lounge chairs and a drink.
A walk down to “Love Beach” on the north side of the Cay revealed a storm scoured beach and Nippers, popular seaside bar/hangout location. While Grabbers, on the sheltered side of Great Guana Cay, will remain relatively safe from the next hurricane Nippers sits precariously atop a twenty foot rise above the beach facing the ocean. It may not be long before the sea claims it.
The island was busy with the sights and sounds of construction crews repairing and rebuilding. We lost a day ashore on Great Guana on May 11th due to rain and threatening weather, but the rain showers provided us both with enough fresh water to wash our hair in the cockpit and not use our precious on-board fresh water. It felt so good having clean hair!
