Marsh Harbour

I tried to do this from memory. Ha! To begin again: We spent a week and a half in Marsh Harbour, sometimes on the boat all day because of strong winds and not wanting to leave the boat and get wet going in to the dinghy dock. Monday, March 5th, was a beautiful, calm day after the tempest of the day before. Sailors converged on the dinghy docks and the little town was busy with shoppers. Tuesday, March 6th, Ken's birthday,and Wednesday were both windy days spent on the boat. Finally, Thursday we dinked into the Jib Room for lunch, met Chris and Mike (Missing Link), and reconnected for Mexican Train. Chris, Mike, Jill, Carolyn, and I would meet most afternoons for our daily game.

Thursday is potluck happy hour at the Jib Room and we met and talked to a lot of other cruisers. Barefoot Man would be coming to Nippers on Great Guana Cay March 16-18. We would stay for that and leave for the States as soon after as we could. Ken checked with another eye doctor at the Auskell Medical Centre on Friday. Saturday coming back from shopping the dinghy motor quit. Monday Ken took it in to B&D Marine where the mechanic cleaned the carbeurator for $70, a steal, according to one sailor who took his motor into the Yamaha mechanic who insisted on ordering another carbeurator--$600. I hitched rides to Mexican Train with Jill and we'd go in bucking 30K winds and rain storms!
