Hub of Abaco

Tues march 30th- Sunny and warm, run south under full sail to Marsh Harbor. Busy harbor with small city (5000 residents) and good shopping.

Wed-Fill propane in town then snorkeling at Mermaid reef. Dinner at Jib room where we met niece of Glen and Ellie.

Thurs-Quick shopping trip for fresh veggies then sail to Guana Cay where we again anchored off the great beach at Bakers Bay then enjoyed a long walk on the ocean beach. On Fri we spent another glorious day biking about the island.

Sat- Sunny and warm once again, burst fuel line on engine had us scrambling to shut down and clean up before there was to much mess. Jury rigged a repair, then had a great sail back to Marsh Harbor for parts. Easter holiday lasts from Fri thru Mon so Yanmar dealer was closed until Tuesday. While biking in town found a local selling conk out of his truck. He cleaned them while I watched and we had a great dinner of cracked conk.

Easter- Decided weather was to nice to spend in harbor, Sailed to Man-o-war where we anchored in a small cove with a nice beach with ocean beach 50 ft across rocks. Biked around a great little town. Has to be the prettiest we have seen yet. Easter feast of cracked conk for dinner .
