Took a nice dinghy ride today. The winds had calmed a bit and we decided to venture out. First we went across the harbor and did a little tourist shopping in the small shops. Came out empty handed but enjoyed it. Next we decided to take our viewing buckets and go out to the flats area of Marsh Harbour. Andy made the viewing busket by taking a five gallon bucket, cutting the bottom out and replacing it with a round of glass. You place it into the water and it is like seeing though an underwater camera. We saw starfish and rays.
In the evening we went up to the Jib Room for Steak Night again. Food was delicious and enjoyed every bite…again. After dinner we called a cab and went into Marsh Harbour for the annual Junkanoo Festival. Junkanoo is held twice a year and it is a parade like atmosphere showcasing local dancers, costumes, music, floats and local food. You can learn more at http://www.junkanoo.com/junkanoo/index.html
We ran into Pat and Patricia Dwyer and they invited us back to their boat at Conch Inn. They have a beautiful 40′ Pilgrim and we enjoyed ending our evening aboard with more new friends.

Mary and Andy – We had so much fun being with you in the Abacos! Thanks for the two delicious dinners and all the laughs. We hope our paths (wakes) cross again some day! If you are ever on the Tennessee River you know you have a place to tie up. Gary and Sarah
