We all dinghy in to Basil’s dock, a private dock that the owner kindly lets cruisers use. Just before we get to the dock a small dinghy with a “center console” comes racing pass us to the dock creating a large wake that soaks me. I guess he thought he was going to get a better spot. Once at the dock, I yell over to him about his wake this close to a dinghy dock and all I get from him is a blank stare, not a sorry or comment. His dinghy has no markings or numbers on the hull, so I can’t even tell where it is from. Although he does reinforce my negative view of someone who has to have a center console with a steering wheel in a little dinghy. Long on money, short on common sense. Definitely a “Walter Mitty” type.
We walk to the Hill Top Grocery store, one of the best stocked groceries stores outside of Nassau. I arrange for a one day car rental from 1PM to 1PM. This afternoon we head south to go to Hamilton's Cave, for a private cave tour that we missed the last two times we were here.
After lunch on the
boat we take the car south to Hamilton’s Cave. We stop at the house that has a sign "Hamilton's Cave Tour" and then follow Leonard Cartwright in his car about 1 mile to the cave on
private land with a gate. The cave has been in Leonard's family a long time. His ancestors were British Loyalists who left America after the Revolutionary War.

After that we visit the Flying Fish Marina at Clarencetown. We were told that there was a flock of Flamingos in one of the ponds couple days ago and there was one pair that might still be there. No luck this was the best we could do.
On our way back north stop at Lloyd’s a restaurant near Deans Blue hole.
