Nah, Great anchorage (see the spot hybrid) and close enough to dink
easily.
We're going to town and the lighthouse and maybe the reefs on the other
side - do you know if there's an easy walk from the northern harbour?

Definitely an easy walk. But do walk around the settlement some. It's
quaint and some good places to eat.

I told you you shouldn't miss the Abacos. You could spend a couple or more
years sailing Between the Abacos and the Exumas and never tire of it. Be
sure to visit Spanish Wells. It's just a hop, skip and a jump over some
open water. You could spend several days there exploring and then sail
back to the Hub of the Abacos. Also make sure to visit Little Harbor and
Cherokee.

Enjoy.

Hi, Wilbur, and list,

According to every chart we've looked at, getting into Spanish Wells looks
out of the question for us with 7' (before we added all these provisions to
miss the triple prices here - example, Oreos [one indulgence] at $8 vs $3,
OJ [another indulgence] at $6 vs 1.98, same brand/size - but we're having to
buy that here, as it doesn't keep or come in on the plane with my son on
Monday like the oreos are :{)) so we may have to figure out someplace else
to be thrilled with in Eluethera).

Thanks for the advice, however. Having finally located a local who was able
to point us, we're having a great time in the Marsh Harbour neighborhood.

Unless we can figure out how to do SW (and might do it on the way back,
anyway), we'll give E'ra a miss on the way down, and head straight to
Highbourne and then to Norman, thence to the Staniel area for our next
visitors.

However, we're going to be here for at least a year, and won't miss E'ra on
the way back up. Still not scared of the 'canes :{)) - and VERY glad we're
here, now, cuz nobody else is, virtually. It will be the same zoo in G'town
when we get there, we expect, but we'll head north during the spring and
catch all the lovely places we jumped over last year.

HooNose, we may get so busy here that we leave only to satisfy
customs/immigration. Aside from another $300,.is there any impediment to
another year on the boat? We know that all we have to do is stop into a
local imm/customs to renew the visa...

Skip and Lydia, enjoying the somewhat cooler weather, but wish the breeze
had kept up - only 5 currently, over a voice quality internet connection
miles from anywhere - which amazes my son, who's a computer geek :{)) When
I get the galleries updated, I'll post some site scans in my pix; you can
see some of the wifi rig current setup scattered throughout the electronics
section in the refit/upgrades section of the SSI refit gallery...
