Thursday, March 13th
This island hopping makes you lose track of the days and
events. Time just marches on. We are in the middle of March and the past
three months have just gone so quickly.
Anyway, after we left Hatchet Bay, toured the northern coast of
Eleuthera, viewed the Glass Window, we made our way to Royal Island. Then on Tuesday morning we traveled to
Spanish Wells. We stayed at the marina,
filled our tanks and provisioned.
Spanish Wells has a British white influence with fewer black
people. The houses are all painted
beautiful colors with well maintained gardens.
Fishing is the way of life here.
Shrimp boats and crabbing boats seem to be the most popular. The waters are skinny all around Spanish
Wells and the beaches are beautiful. We
left Spanish Wells Wednesday morning and made our way back to Royal Island for
shelter from the upcoming blow Thursday/Friday.
Royal Island is under development.
There is surveying going on with rough roads running around the
island. The only buildings here now are
the few occupied by the maintenance personnel, but the subdivision is in
progress. The dogs have been free to run
here and love it.
Once the winds clock around to the East which is
supposed to happen Saturday, we will sail to the Abacos. That crossing is a long day
