All is well aboard the Salty Dawg.
Since the last email almost 2 weeks ago.... we have been Island
hopping, usually cruising to a destination and then staying a day or
two. Last Thursday we arrived in Marsh Harbor and stayed until Sunday
in an anchorage protected from the 20 knot winds with higher
gusts. Then we
cruised 8 miles across the Sea of Abaco to attend
Nippers on Great Guana Cay for the weekly Sunday Pig Roast. Joined up
with some people we had met at other anchorages.
After a couple of days we moved on to Man-O-War Cay. Dennis and I
loved walking in the quaint town and chatted up some of the locals. Mr
Albury of the famous boat makers and the girls at the Sail shop were
great fun. The Boch's took us to lunch at the Pavilion and we all had
some form of conch.
Today we arrived at Green Turtle Cay to attend the Heritage Festival this weekend.
We have not had much luck at fishing, but not to worry, the freezer is still well stocked.
Except for wind the weather has been great with only one rainy day. The water colors are breath taking.
Hard to believe we have been aboard 3 weeks. There are many places we have not yet been, so will have no problem filling the
days until we head north. Sometime mid May we will begin
listening for a favorable weather report to make the off shore run up
the coast.
Will keep you posted when we can.
Later, Esther
