We have been here for a couple of days trying to get all the supplies and tools required for the minor repairs on the boat. I have also been trying to get more reliable Internet so I can keep the posts coming. I have a request from one of our faithful readers to put a map up to show where we have been. I will work on that tomorrow. If there are any other requests, just post a comment.We ran into our friend David from Hark The Sound.
We went to the world famous Jib Room and had one of the last plates of ribs with him. Once dinner was over, BJ made some new friends that were on their last night from New Jersey. They got tho whole place dancing to whatever type of music they played. Even the "regulars" got up and danced. I heard a comment that it has not been this lively in a long time.

There we also met a couple that are staying in the Harbor View Marina with us. Mike and Karen are from Wrightsville Beach, NC. They have a 42 foot Searay Aft-Cabin named Voila.
They took a taxi to the Jib Room, so I offered them a ride back to the marina in my pimp-mobile dinghy. They loved it. They invited us for dinner the next night on board the vessel Voila. Karen cooked some fresh shrimp and Mahi Mahi they picked up in Freeport. I made the famous Water's Edge lump crab meat bruschetta with some fresh Stone Crab claws we picked up at the local fish market. I used fresh Bahamian bread that we bought 
in Guana Cay. They tasted great and got us thinking about our friends back on Shem Creek. Dinner lasted until very early in the AM with a lot of dancing and laughing on the boat. The hospitality was great and we can't wait to get back together with Mike and Karen.

We will then make it down to Hope Town and ultimately around the southern side of the Abacos.
The Marina
Harbor View Marina
This is a small but very nice marina. We have met the owner's mother and dogs and all are nice.
The Food
Conch Inn (Curly Tails)
This is very average. We had dinner and breakfast there and were not impressed. the portions are large though.
Geno's Cafe
Local joint that had the best peas and rice, but since the fresh snapper on the plate had eyeballs and bones, BJ could not eat it.
Snappa's
Pretty good burger. No French Fries. This is a first in the Bahamas.

I am sooooo jealous of you two. John thought I might like to read this back in December and I've followed it ever since. I await your new posts and when it takes you awhile I get worried. The pictures are awesome. I agree, it would be great if you could get some kind of map up. I asked John the other day where is Abacos?? I love the names of all of the places and the description of the foods. B.J. is getting so tan and I'm totally jealous!! Anyway, have continue having a blast for all of us!!!!!
