Issie is 7

We celebrated Issie's 7th birthday whilst at Staniel Cay, with morning cards and gifts, raising the birthday flags, a visit to the swimming pigs, a little party ashore with our friends from Fowl Cay and a dolphin cake carefuly carved the night before.

Hard to believe that our little girl is a third of a way to twenty-one already.....

(explanation of swimming pigs...on a beach on an island with the strange name of 'Big Major's Spot' there live about six pigs, belonging to someone on the main island of Staniel Cay. These pigs forage on the island but these days they do better by waiting for cruisers to ome by in their dinghies and feed them scraps. They often swim out to the dinghy and eat from the salt water, who knows how they manage to survive on that, but I guess you get ready made salt pork. They are now part of the local tourist industry and I suspect that the owner is delighted to get his pigs fattened for free by the visitors food)
