Feeding Pigs at Big Majors Spot, snorkeling a James Bond Film Cave

What a business concept: Cruising boaters feed the pigs on this island. And when the pigs get too aggressive, or just big enough, the pigs are being "exchanged". New piglets for the island, and a pig roast on shore. Anyways, we kept up the tradition and fed the pigs some old lettuce and oranges.




The main hub is Stanley Cay with a little village and marina. The supply boat just came in and all cruisers were rushing to shore to get some fresh produce.

Close by is the Thunderball Cave, named after a James Bond movie, partially staged here. The bar in the marina has a couple of pictures of the film staff hanging around in the bar, including Sean Connery. At low tide the two entrances to the cave/grotto are visible and we snorkeled inside. Lots of fish, used to people feeding them with bread. We also had some old bread with us and fed swarms of colorful fish.
