So, What's the Don't Miss on Eleuthera?
Thanks for prior helps... L8R Skip, who'll try to hunt up your yoga guru to say hi for you -- Morgan 461 #2 SV Flying Pig KI4MPC See our galleries at www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery !

In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not." |

Alice Town (good protection in cove, very cool inlet) 6. Goverour's Harbour (good town, good WiFi) 7. Surfer beaches on east side (need a 4WD jeep for access) 8. Rock Sound (good protection, good supplies, car rental) Here's some pictures: http://share.shutterfly.com/view/flashslideshow.jsp?sid=0AaOGTlo0Zt2L6w&a=67b0de21b 344e26fa4dd |

So, Wilbur, it's all been said? I'd have thought there were more places and
stuff to see and do. Meanwhile, yesterday, the glass window bridge was closed because there was 18-24" of water in the road. We didn't get down there; instead walked to Preacher's Cave from the tip right off Spanish Wells (big hike!), and will go see the devil today, right at the very tip of the NW corner, courtesy of the guy who owns Sands Beer, who owns that peninsula. Great dinner afterwards at the Snack Bar. You can see our travels on the spot page mentioned here before :{)) Because of the way it was carried (ideal is flat, we had it vertical in the backpack), updates weren't every 10 minutes, but our extremes were accurate...
