HOPPING ABOUT ABACOE

TREASURE CAY

Fri March 9^th- After spending a quiet nite anchored off of Green Turtle we decided to take advantage to the benign conditions to move south thru the whale passage which takes us out into open ocean for a short hop. Anchored in the harbor at Treasure Cay where we were able to get our local phone activated but failed to get our computer stick working on the local cell service. No luck with getting help at the local computer geek as he missed 3 different appointments we set up. Typical in Bahamas. Showers and wifi at the resort were a welcome change.

GUANA CAY, FISCHERS BAY

Sat-Motor the short hop to Fischers Bay under sunny skies to anchor off the beach. Wander around town and take a long walk on the beautiful ocean beach. The anchorage is a little rolly as the expected wind shift hasn’t materialized.

MARSH HARBOR

Sun-Once again we find ourselves motoring into choppy seas to the anchorage at Marsh Harbor. We plan on filling up with water and fuel as we have been out for 2 weeks and our water supply has been running low. Not long after dropping anchor the skies opened up and we had a welcome heavy rain and were able to fill our tanks with about 60 gallons of water. Skies cleared on Monday and we took a trip to town to stock up on fresh veggies and a case of our favorite rum “Fire in da hole”. On Tues we took the computer in and after a long hike found a shop that was able to solve our problems. Turns out the batelco office that set up our stick downloaded the wrong driver. A trip to the local seafood wholesaler followed and we feasted on lobster tails that evening freezing both lobster and conch for a few more meals. By Wed morning the winds are howling and we spend the day aboard. Thurs brings more high winds. It seems it’s either feast or famine with the winds this trip. At least we’re not shoveling snow.
