On to Marsh Harbour

Weighing anchor off No Name Cay, or should we say, “weighted” anchor?

We traveled from No Name Cay to Abaco Beach Resort and Marina. This marina is on Great Abaco Island and is kinda on the opposite side of an isthmus from the actual Marsh Harbour. Todd figured with a bit of blow coming, no real great anchorages around, and that Susie hasn’t seen Marsh Harbour, let’s duck in and put SaltyMare in a slip for a night or two. The Mare is becoming a diva with these “spa” days. Secured her stern in, in the wind, way to go Todd! This morning we went on walkabout over to Marsh Harbour (the town) to check out a grocery store, Maxwell’s. Since it is a holiday [New Year’s day observed], almost nothing else is open. Maxwell’s is huge, like a Kroger, but eye-opening.

$8.40? Wow, Tony!
$3.85 for canned peaches?
Tomato soup on sale – time to make grilled cheese sandwiches
Thank goodness for all that provisioning and onboard ship’s stores.
Mangoes Seaside Restaurant (actually several blocks from the harbor), where Todd had his first cheeseburger in paradise. I went island style with a conch burger. Both were quite tasty. Suck it in, big boy! (Todd added that bit, not me. You do know we write these posts together, right?)

Some photos for the plant people

A palm the size of a person!
Who has a name for this one flowering?
Hey, that’s cotton! growing wild in a lot

    Jesus $8.40 for a box of sugar pops!? What are they sprinkled with?

      I’m guessing the Bahamians aren’t raised on breakfast cereal, and that also explains why Grits is a heading on the grocery aisle signage. We’ll stick to eggs and toast. LOL
