Return to the Hub ...Marsh Harbour in the Spring


Spring has sprung in Marsh Harbour and there are lots of blossoms on the trees.

Goldberry and her crew are always loaded when they leave Marsh Harbour.

This mural was painted on the side of the hardware store and it does a very good job of depicting life in The Bahamas.

Marsh Harbour is never one of our favourite stops but a necessary one for getting boat chores done....laundry and groceries being the key ones. Rob also did some looking at what batteries are available as we have been limping along with our Surettes which are five years old. We are our own electrical company so our batteries are critical to our floating home. Wives sometimes call their husands amp Nazis but since I don't have things like hair dryers etc.I usually don't get in to too much trouble over power usage. That being said even the computer uses precious amps and often I will use it on its battery and then charge it when the engine or Little Harry is running.

This is why we snorkel in The Bahamas.



From Marsh we did a day trip out to Fowl Cay to do some snorkelling as the weather was great for a paddle on the ocean. Lynn and Peter had to stay in town to pick up their daughter Beth. Beth came for a whirlwind 5 day visit from New York City where she is a chiropractor. We met them at Matt Lowe's Cay and they joined us on Celebrian for hamburgers in paradise. It was nice to see Beth again as we had met her two years ago when she joined First Edition in Staniel Cay in the Exumas.
The next day we decided to head north and get through the Whale Cay passage while the weather was good. We will meet up with First Edition in a few days after Beth goes home and they head north.
