We have had a good time here in Eleuthera. We have been at Davis Harbor Cotton Club Marina. There was a function here by Waterway Guide and since Bo in there Multi-Media editor and editor for the Bahamas we had the oppurtunity to attend. It is a marina with some big fishing boats, small fishing boats and a Trawler. There is a Dive Shop and a Shop for fishing. A wonderful Marina Restaurant. Cotton Bay Club is a very exclusive community, and that is where the boats from the marina live. They are the people that started drug companies, Alco, dive companies and ect.
One day I walk a beach left of the marina for 3 hours for shelling and have walked it again yesterday. There is another beach to the right so walked it 3 times. They have the most beautiful Conch shells and will include a picture of the one I kept.
We were able to spend an afternoon with a young couple from Waterway and it was so fun as they had a jeep to use while they were here. His father is the owner of Waterway Guide and she is a middle school math teacher in Richmond VA. We went to a beach named Lighthouse Beach and the sign says jeep recommended and let me tell you it should say MUST HAVE, we gad a great time but glad it was not our vehicle.
This evening there was a grand opening for the new restaurant and it was some of the best food we have had, I will include a picture of the restaurant. One evening the chief fixed Banana Rum cake and the next Cheese Cake. This is a luxury as dessert is something that most people do not have here. But the thing that all boaters miss is an ice cream cone.
One day we had a man from the marina take 4 of us to a grocery store and it so far has been the best one since Nassau. It was wonderful!!
I had the opportunity to do laundry and was it exciting the machines were only $2 for each one, and that is a wow.
On Saturday we got the 5 sailboats together for an evening just to talk. Each one has a story and one couple was late 20's early 30's. They are doing this life until they need to go back to MA and go back and find work for a while until they can go again.
The fishermen in the marina are so generous, when they come in with huge loads of fish they give all of it away to locals and boaters so we had fresh Wahoo given to us 3 times so have about 9 meals.
March 21, two of the sailboats left to go to the other side of the island. Bo is still filming. We met a young gentlemen that has a 3 person band and we have bartered him photos for recording.
I will keep you posted had hoped to leave today but the weather God's must not have heard us.
