Still snuggled in at Marsh Harbor Marina in the Abacos. We’ve managed to get snorkeling once at Mermaid Reef which is very close to the marina. We’d forgotten how cool the water is compared to other places we’ve snorkeled down island in the Caribbean. We have wet suits at home and we were wishing that we’d brought them. It would allow us to stay in the water much longer than we’re able without them. We’ve scoped out some of the local establishments like the major grocery store, the hardware stores and also been able to get propane. Next week we hope to try a couple of the restaurants that are a little further from the Marina. Everything is done by dinghy now that we’ve returned the rental car, so we’ll probably see what kind of lunch specials there are. That way we don’t have to be using the dinghy at night. It’s not that we can’t, it’s just a lot easier to get around during the day light hours.
Next weekend the Man o War Cay school system is having a fund raiser flea market and we’re hoping we can go. They plan to run ferries from Marsh Harbor to Man o War. However, Chris Parker, the cruiser’s weather guru is predicting gale force winds for the that day. Who said weathermen could predict weather a week in advance. So, we’ll see what happens, but if that happens, I’m not even sure I want to take the ferry over there. Time will tell.
