Black Point Settlement


Black Point Settlement, another key in the Exuma Chain, was settled by freed slaves. The town is tidy and has a beautiful blue water bay, and high hills overlooking the Atlantic, also, the best bread in the Bahamas, baked by Lorriane's mother. Lorraine is the proprieter of the best restaurant on the island, a place with wifi and CNN news oin a flat screen TV. The day we were there, the equivalent of UPS arrived, a shallow draft Landing Ship arrived, pulled up to shore, rolled down the front and offloaded and onloaded deliveries. As on Staniel Key, groceries arrive by supply ship once a week, an in bad weather or with other complications, may take longer. Life is slow.


Sand Castle and Wind Dancer are to the far right of the bay.
