Eluethera, Hatch Bay, Day 3

Another day of high winds. We go ashore around 11:30 to have lunch at Da Spot, a very funky bar. Was told they have WiFi, but when I asked the woman behind the bar sitting in a chair watching TV, she says “I haven't put in a password, yet”. On the other hand it was not even turned on and she made no effort to do so.

We walk over to the Atlantic side, about a 1-1/2 mile walk. We walk through some overgrown pastures areas from when they tried to start some dairy farms back in the 70's. Still some cement silos around. Once we get to the beach we see that it is quite rough and feel much better about hanging out in Hatchet one more day. Beautiful watching the breaking waves. We both find some more Sea Beans, which come from South America. The only foot prints on the beach are our own.

This picture is what I call a decomposed vehicle. This is what happens to a car left at the beach for 40 years or so.  All that is left is plastic parts, rubber, glass, paint and iron oxide.

When we get back to Hatchet Bay we run into Wayne & Betty “Bright Ayes” walking down Queens Highway. We go over to their boat for Happy Hour and play Rummikub  Qube.

Then back to our boat for dinner and to bed earlier than normal to leave around 6:00 AM. We are trying to make it through Current Cut at slack tide around 9:00 AM on the way to Spanish Wells.
