From Great Guana we sailed south to Marsh Harbor, the largest town in the Abacos. They actually have a supermarket that rivals stateside (except for the prices). We are anchored off of the Marsh Harbor Marina and Jibroom Restaurant/Bar (photo on left), a local sailor's hangout. We had a great baby back ribs meal there Weds. night with new and old boating friends. We actually ran into Chuck and Bonnie Morrell on StarGazer, a Hunter 41 from Sturgeon Bay!! Small world.......
Met a couple from Florida that have been sailing their Catana 401 for the last 7 years. Larry and Bonnie included us in a cocktail gathering on their boat one evening. Nice boat... They're taking off for the BVI's non-stop in the next day or so.
Marsh Harbor is the charter hub for the Abacos. Sunsail and The Moorings both maintain a fleet of boats here. The fleets are larger than I expected.
A big cold front is about to pass through so we are hunkered down with the 22# Delta and Fortress 23 deployed. Hoping to head to the other side of the bay to check out Snappas Grill and Chill tonight..

Phil and Cathy,
The Bahamas won't be happening this trip. Should be in Marathon on the 16th then onto Key West and maybe the Dry Tortugas. Then will start heading north.
We visited today, 3/13, in Naples with Tom Haevers and Kurt and Jan Detry who are visiting Tom and Judy.
From your blog looks like you you're having a great time in the Bahamas.
Paul & Emy Struve
