March 1-23, Bahamas

 

 

 

 

After leaving Elbow Cay we started making our way back the 100 plus miles to West End. We spent 10 days at Marsh Harbor at the Jib Room. This was a time to grocery shop at Maxwell's, the biggest store in the Abacos,  (dinghy across the harbor and then walk four blocks), do laundry for a more normal price ($4 versus 20) and just hang around. The Jib Room is known for their RIB night and it did not disappoint. I ate and ate, while Dale looked on in amazement. We took bike rides to check out downtown and the Abaco resort, dinghy rides to explore, 2 trips to the store and many dog walks. The street we were on was pretty busy, so I had to learn defensive walking with Oliver versus looking out for only golf carts.

 

After our time at Marsh harbor we made out way North and then West to head home. We did another stop in Green Turtle as we liked it there, then the obligatory stop to anchor at Great Sale Cay, where we actually had a lot of company, before making our way to West End and Old Bahama Bay. When we got to OBB as we now call it, Oliver made a beeline straight for the beach. He loves that place.  

 

Dinghy Dock in Marsh Harbor. this is where you park and then walk the 4 blocks to Maxwell's.

All tired out, cuddling with his dolphin.

Street we walked by the Jib Room, yikes traffic!

Not the beaches we got used to, but a great view.

Marsh Harbor, boats anchored



Oliver likes the dock. At low tide we could not get him up to the dock from a dinghy, so we get to stay in a slip.

Saw this on our bike ride, really!
