Wow, the beginning of our third week! We left for Marsh Harbor this morning, arriving at the Marsh Harbor Marina/Jib Room about noon. We took on 260 gallons of fuel and cut a deal on a slip for a week. That will cover the time the kids are here and we can use the boat if we want, but the plan is to just take a ferry to Hopetown and Man O War Cay. Hal really wants to go fishing, but the fishermen we talked to yesterday said fishing is just awful. Perhaps the fun is just in the chase……
Our marina is a bit far from town, perhaps a mile, and it is HOT, HOT, HOT. Not to be deterred, we decided, because it was late afternoon and overcast, that we would brave their bicycles and check things out. Almost there, one of the pedals came off Harold’s bike. He managed to find the nut but could not get it back on tight enough to ride. I refrained from laughing, but didn’t take a picture. So we turned around and walked our bikes back. If we didn’t lose 5 pounds from sweating, I don’t know what it takes! Stephen, the marina/restaurant/bar operator, bought us a beer for our trouble (and told us that the heat index was 107) and we enjoyed cocktail hour with the various marina residents/transients. Took a swim and had a light supper on board. Tomorrow night is Rib Night at the Jib Room, so we are looking forward to that!
