Marsh Harbour 1

March 11, 2017 - March 16, 2017


We have been anchored in Marsh Harbour for the week.  High winds that blew into the area with a cold front have kept us from visiting other points of interest, but we continue to enjoy this spot. 


We love the beautiful turquoise
water in the harbour.

Our friends, Nancy and Ken (s/v Hafli) and Marion and Jonathan (s/v Eleuthera II), are anchored nearby and we spent a couple of evenings with them. One night we all went to “Steak Out” at the Jib Room which consists of a huge steak cooked on the grill, baked potato, salad, and steamed vegetables.  There were lots of people there enjoying the delicious food and the music afterwards.  Another night we hosted a pizza night on our boat.  The pizza was better than we could have hoped and the conversation was great as usual.

We have explored the town extensively, done laundry, bought groceries, and seafood.  One night Bob fixed some outstandingly delicious lobster tails.  Life here is relaxing and pleasant with turquoise water, bright sunshine, and cool breezes.  I guess you might call it paradise!


Houses here are colorful and
surrounded by lush foliage. 

Local families enjoy a day on the water, too.

Snappas is a great place for fresh seafood.

Kalik, the local Bahamian beer, goes
well with seafood.

I luv da palm trees, man.

It has rained almost everyday we have been in the Bahamas, but usually just briefly.


This rain shower lasted almost
an hour one morning.

Curly Tails Restaurant has a bar
upstairs with great views of the
harbour and great food.

Outside of Curly Tails we found
this real curly tail lizard sunning
himself on a log.

Every night we are treated to a
beautiful sunset and conch horns played
by observers on land.
