the Jib Room offered a discount on drinks for happy hour .. and lets the cruisers come with pot
luck appetizers … a lot of the cruisers are taking this next weather window to cross to the Eleuthra and Exumas
and this was their last day in the Abaco this season
Hurricane Helens boat .. Ain't Miss Behaven
a dried out jelly fish at low tide
a jelly fish that is under water .. nice and plump
Sea Biscuit
Grabber's Restaurant on Guana Cay
the ocean side of Great Guana Cay
lots of high waves crashing the shore
we find quite a few hard hats
Joe gave me this Little Book of Sea-Beans .. so this year we have been able to identify
our treasures
another nice sunset
Great Blue Heron
we had another great walk on the beach with Chris and Charlie
this use to be a cave, but one of the last few storms brought the wall down
another collection of sea beans
we made arrangements to take our fore sail to Man of War, to get it repaired, and we got it back
in a few days … $360
Kevin from Grace headed into MOW with us
taking our sail to shore
these cute ducks waited for the golf carts to pass and then waddled across the road
heading for a swim
some nice folk art
Grace leaving the anchorage and snagged a pipe, but managed to release it
sailing back to Marsh Harbour with the main only
another rusted and broken switch .. so glad we had a spare on board
Other Goose, Rick and Susan from Owen Sound arrived in Marsh Harbour for one night only
they are on their way to George Town, Exumas
the weather window is open for a good crossing
saying our good byes
there they go
we head out of the Harbour again for Mermaid Reef and a swim ….
and we get a radio call from Old Rosie, another Owen Sound boat
two guys having a good ride on top of their boat
Old Rosie, a Nova Scotia steel hull boat .. beautiful in side
Ben and Jane Eckensweiler, from our home town
we had happy hour on their boat and caught this beautiful sun set
Old Rosie brought us salsa, corn chips and AA batteries from Florida
the price is better in the USA
then we both headed off to MOW, Joe and I picked up our sail
the wind had shifted and our stern was to shore, so we both moved to another island
Sugar Loaf Cay …. now this is better .. bow to shore
our tour of the lime stone islands
some caves
this could pass for Tobermory landscape
another great sunset
the next day the wind shifted again, so we moved to the other side of the island
and went snorkelling with Ben and Jane … pictures to follow
at anchor in Marsh Harbour
