Here at Black Point there are two ladies that the cruiser’s book raves about.

Lorraine’s Cafe and Ida’s Laundromat.

Lorraine offers wonderful food at her cafe and will rent you a golf cart to explore the island.

And Ida is known far and wide.
Best laundry in the Bahamas! The reviews go on and on about the laundry. Before we got here I asked Ed aren’t all laundromats the same?

Not really. This one has a dozen washers and dryers and carts on wheels so you can move your laundry around. Ida has a store next door with everything from boat plumbing supplies to detergent.

Free wifi finds cruisers of all types sitting outside on their devices while the clothes get clean.

And homemade carrot and banana cake every day. Ida announces what she will make the next day so you will be sure to come back.

She’s been here 12 years, added the coin operated showers last year. Oh and she will give you a haircut too!

Smart businesswomen. They know what cruisers need! Simple. Give us clean clothes, wifi, a shower and cheap local food and we’re good to go.

Well not completely. Zhivago at Scorpios gives us happier hour on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Two rum punches for $7.

Now we’re satisfied.
