Abacos

As the sun came up behind the Liberty Clipper at the Government Dock on 24 April we dropped our lines and motored out of Hatchet Bay on a dead calm morning.....and kept motoring for 5 hours,through the Current Cut (at about 91/2 knts ) and anchored at Royal Island at the north end of Eleuthera. Before the sun woke up the next day we were off SAILING ! (for a couple of hours then motor sailing ) up to Little Harbour Abacos.
Dead calm again the next morning we chugged up to Marsh Harbour on a lovely sunny day.The water was so clear that the sun shining through our wake was making flame like patterns on the bottom......15 to 20 feet below us........

That's a sting ray on the right

We did a bit provisioning at Marsh Harbour and sailed the 8 miles or so to Great Guana Cay for the Sunday pig roast at which we decided to go vegetarian and eat Conch salad.....allowing for the fact that conch isn't really meat......it feels and tastes like rubber....and I used to think they got rubber out of trees.

Would you believe it.........we walked back over to the west side to Grabbas and there was a funky duo playing and people dancing in the pool. Bill told the guitar player ,Stone McEwan, that there was a sax about and just for a change.....

So...............Stone's lining up some gigs to do in Marsh Harbour before we start our trek back to the US of A

Ho hum ...life goes on
