Well, who wouldn’t want to “swim with the pigs? The Pig Beach at Big Majors is certainly a unique spot. The pigs roam free, but aren’t really wild. Mostly they are conditioned to be fed by crazy tourists and cruisers. Of course, the pigs aren’t the only attraction. Staniel Cay, the next island south, is home to some of the classic Bahamas racing sailboats. Tall masts and very, very long booms make for a lot of sail area!
Between Big Majors and Staniel is the famous Thunderball Grotto, filming site for James Bond’s Thunderball, Splash and probably others. The lighting inside is unique; and the Grotto is home to lots of fish.
We’ve learned that cruising is a curious mix of sailing/navigating, seeing the sites, and meeting people. From island to island, the mix varies a bit in percentage, but the three parts are always present. That’s just part of the allure of cruising!
