Hi all !!! We have a Bahamian Phone now, but were unable to make the tether connection that we had hoped for in able to have internet on the boat. So we are currently sitting on a picnic table in the sunshine talking to some other cruisers. We are across the "street" from the Batelco office and they have graciously logged Steve's laptop onto their WiFi. No access to my pics from his laptop, however.
We crossed the Little Bahama Bank on Tuesday, lovely cruise with a gentle rocking over. We are anchored in the harbor across from town. The north winds are back and fierce at 10-20 for about the next week. We are pleased with the holding ability of our anchor, Steve added 30 feet of heavy chain, but we are on the same 45# Manson anchor that we had on the Mainship, so it's good to know it will hold a bigger boat.
Yesterday I bought 4 medium sized just caught lobster on the dock and had them for supper .... $10. Last night the only other boat anchored started to drag, I noticed it when I got up to check us about 4 am. They were so close to us that I was able to wake them with a loud shout, so they could get up and reset. This small town of 200 has no roads, just concrete paved paths for walking and golf carts. Commercial fishing is the main occupation and Boston Whalers are the preferred boat.
We are in the far northern section of the Abacos, less traveled and less commercial. Our next destination will be Green Turtle Cay, about 60 miles down, and much more developed. Hope to find some WiFi there and get you caught up with some pictures.
