Here's a picture of old Angel Jen bellying up to a sailors beach bar
on Staniel Cay. This is another example of the iconic experiences of
a Caribbean cruise. Sailors brave the raging seas, clawing their way
from island to island, conquering all the difficulties of nature then
they tie up the boat, sidle into the local sailors beach bar and tell
stories about what great times they had. And decide to have another
drink and not go out again for a while.
In the more remote islands of the Caribbean, I understand, they order
cheap meals which take forever to arrive.
In the Bahamas, however, they order extremely expensive meals which
take a very long time to arrive because Bahamians may be islanders but
they ain't stupid. Once you've been out on the water for a couple
weeks bouncing from lonely deserted isle to lonely deserted isle,
you're ready for a burger and a cold one. And there's only one
restaurant in town. Our two burgers and three drinks cost us $60. Yeee-
ouch! But, hey, we checked another box on the list!
