Feeding Time

Big Majors Spot

A group of pigs live on a small beach on Big Majors Spot. These are just ordinary domestic farm pigs, but they are accustomed to being fed by the cruisers. As you approach the beach they come out to see what treats you have. We offered bananas and sweet potatoes. They get a little excited and act like they will climb into the dinghy. Once they know the treats are gone they return to the beach to lay in the sand and wait for the next feeding.

Staniel Cay

At Staniel Cay is Thunderball Cave, after which the James Bond movie was named. At low water you can enter the cave without diving under. At high water it is just a short stretch through the entrance. The fish expect to be fed. The fish pictured were impatient for me to open the zip lock bag to release the food for them. It only took seconds for them to devour all the food I brought.
