Last week I traveled with Peter and his family to Staniel Cay in the Exumas. It was paradise: empty beaches, crystal waters, ham-sandwich picnics, and a yacht club with pina coladas so good I forgot about 40 degree NYC and all the work I left behind.

Staniel Cay is home to the famous Staniel Cay Yacht Club – a must-stop for boaters in the Bahamas. The cay’s stunning grottos (which we snorkeled into) were the backdrop for the 1965 007 classic, Thunderball.

I packed light: bikinis from Marysia Swim & a one-piece from Phillip Lim; my kindle; Sol Moscot sunglasses, and some Turkish towels … all I needed for this divine holiday break!

Thank you to Hank and Joanne and the SCYC for good sandwiches, great drinks, and serious relaxation!
