We are now in Marsh Harbour. It is as beautiful as we remember from 6 years ago, but it has grown. I'm having a problem downloading pictures today, so, I'll just catch you up and try again on the pictures. We met up with our friends, Mike and Marta on "Pachis". We met them in West End and they left before we did. Anyway, that's what fun about cruising because you meet such fun and wonderful cruisers and while you are island hopping you are sure to run into them again. It's been alittle cloudy which doesn't make for a pretty day to snorkle, but we will be here long enough for that to change. For all our other cruising friends that have been here before, I'll let you know the additions. A new dinghy dock was added closer to the grocery store. Mangoes has been updated, but our Rake-N-Shake guy, Browntip, still plays there and other locations as well. We will be able to hear him tonight at the Jib Room at Marsh Harbour Marina. The conch vendor is still at his same location and the conch is as good as ever. Ken, I've been having the conch burger and a few for you too!!!. Sue, Clay still likes the hamburger!! Since we have been here the new attraction is the Conch Pearl. They have now discovered them while cleaning the conch, and they are beautiful and not cheap!!! It's like one in every 10,000 conch have a pearl. Some lucky ones have discovered one in their conch salads. So I am eating alot of salads too!!! The pearls have been around clear back to 1839, but no one really paid that much attention to them until the daughter-in-law of Queen Victoria became partial to the pearl. Since she was a trend setter, the pearls became part of the Edwardian Style. That's your lesson for the day.
I'll try again on the pictures so stay tuned, until later...we are still
The Happy Cruisers!!
