You may be wondering what the heck Don't Stop The Carnival, Kinja and the Gull Reef Club are all about.

It all begins with Don't Stop The Carnival, a very funny adventure story written by Herman Wouk about a
couple from New York who decide to move to the Caribbean and open a hotel....something we have always wanted to do!

Kinja is an imaginary island in the Caribbean where the story unfolds (much like the stories aboard our boat!).

Ah, and the Gull Reef Club....well, you will have to read the book to figure that one out !

The weather front has passed

We rode out the storm in Sampson Cay and were very comfortable. We met quite a few boaters as we waited out the storm and had some fun nights at the restaurant.  We even met James Taylor.  No, not the one you are thinking of.  JT is the captain of Fantella (a large 80 ft. motor yacht).  A great guy who gave us a lot of tips on our future route.  He lives in Provo in the Turks & Cacos.  He invited us to catch up with him when we get there.    

It is time to move on so we are heading out mid morning for the short 20 mile sail to Black Point.  

We made it to Black Point early afternoon and anchored out with our friends Jim and Michelle.  We had them over to Kinja for cocktails and laughs.  They are great people and very fun to hang out with.





A boat anchored in the Black Point Harbor...



There is not much of a town at Black Point.  But someone was pretty creative when the decided to plant a mast in front of their house to use as an antenna...


Oh, and did I forget to mention that they do not accept credit cards anywhere in the very small town of Black Point... and of course there are no banks or ATM's.  Evidently money comes over on the mail boat when people request it.



We got up early the next morning and headed out for the 55 mile sail on the outside of the Exuma Banks (in the ocean) to Georgetown.
