Saturday we all walked to the Crossing Bay Ferry Dock, to take advantage of the $10 round trip
to MOW …the usual cost is $30 round trip
everything was well organized and it sure was well attended
the ceremony started with the Ringing of the Bell, then school kids
sang March On, Bahamaland, then we all sang God Save the Queen
the guest speaker was the Minister of Tourism, Hon. Obie Wilchombe, who
promised that he would send a team to do a documentary on
boat building on MOW
there was lots of food offered and coffee was in order for us all
lots of beautiful crafts
displays
wood working tools
the Hon. Obie Wilchombe
Launching of Conniption, a Abaco Dinghy
the Boat Builders' Memorial plaque
one of the little singers of the All Age School
there was lots of boats on display for inspection
we had a great time, and it is time to take the ferry back to Marsh Harbour
last year it was Modaki having dinghy issues, this year it is Escape Velocity,
we lent Harry our dinghy for a few days, so he could haul his out of the water
at Mangoes to do a repair job
Joe and I making California Rolls for our Happy Hour and Pot Luck at Mangoes
after the pot luck we all went across the harbour to The Jib Room to
listen to the Rake n Scrape
