No Name Cay - Home of the Abacos Pigs

We had a great day with buddies Grant and Cindy, visiting the next little cay, very creatively named No Name Cay.  This cay is uninhabited... well, by humans at least.  It is home to the pigs.  Yes, pigs!  There is a group of wild pigs there living on the beach.  Someone has set up a cistern with fresh water for them and folk go over in small boats with scraps to feed them.  It's become a bit of a tourist attraction.






After the piggies were fed, we dinghied over to Grant and Cindy's secret sea glass beach.  I'd tell you where it is but we're sworn to secrecy and they'd have to kill us.  To get there one has to travel over mountainous, very dangerous sea side cliffs, jungle, and vast rocky beaches with crashing waves.  OK, I'm exaggerating a bit in an effort to distract you and keep the location top secret, but it was a bit of a hike over dead coral.

There, using Grant's especially designed secret tool, we foraged for treasures of sea glass.  Cindy makes jewelry out of them. If you've never had the opportunity to spend the day on a deserted beach hunting for sea glass you're missing out.  It is one of the most relaxing, meditative ways to spend time.


Sorting through the finds, looking for treasure.


And look at the lovely gifts that were bestowed upon us in reward for our efforts:
