Staniel Cay

Sadly it was time to say goodbye to the Battricks. We’d all had a great time – even though we’d had to cater for ourselves with limited shopping opportunities and absolutely no thrill rides. Something really memorable had happened every day: Adam and Callum had built on their snorkelling skills in some fabulously clear water; Cal had been up our 65’ mast; Adam had swum extensively with sharks; Cal had been introduced to diving; they’d seen rare iguanas, swimming pigs and loads of fish; and they swam in Thunderball Cave.

We felt pretty flat when they’d left. We cleaned the boat and rearranged the cabins so Jamie and Alex had their beds back and then, since I hadn’t swum through Thunderball Cave, we went and visited that again.
