Why not go in town, get some conch soup and a Kaliks?


Good idea. There is also a native Bahamian guy that sells a delicious
home made conch salad (Ceviche) from a sidewalk cart in downtown Marsh
Harbour.

There also used to be an old fellow named Nigel who would hand carve a
parrot for you out of mahogany drift wood. His primary tool was a
small hatchet. He worked very fast and chips would be flying
everywhere - always expected to see one of his fingers come flying off
but he was too skilled for that. Unfortunately Nigel has moved to a
craft area in Nassau near the cruise ship dock. We have one of his
parrots atop our entertainment center back home.
