Marsh Harbour to Marsh Harbour

March 15 to March 23

We left Marsh Harbour and travelled to several anchorages and stopped at 2 towns, (Treasure Cay & Hope Town).

Turtle Cay (one of our anchorages)

 

Treasure Cay is very American with lots of condos and villas to rent, 1 grocery store and a couple of little gift shops. There is a well protected harbor to anchor in and a beautiful sandy beach.

 

Hope Town is larger and still has a lot of Bahamian charm left. It also has a very well protected harbor, with one of the few remaining lighthouses that still uses oil to light it. There are 2 grocery stores and lots of restaurants and gift shops.

(That's what most of the anchorages look like.)

Now we are back in Marsh Harbour this time at a dock instead of on anchor. The solenoid burned out on our generator (it was replaced only 3 months ago) so we need to order another one. It was a good time to come into this harbor because the winds were predicted to increase for the next 2 days any way. While we wait for the part it will give us a chance to check out more of the town and we will also have internet so it’s great catching up with the outside world.
