Eluethera, Hatchet Bay, Day 1

We go for a walk through the town and look for a liquor store to replenish our rum supply, too many rum and cokes. Some cute homes, but unfortunately many abandoned homes that are eye sores. This seem to be a common problem in the Bahamas. Families move and abandon their properties as the population declines in certain areas.

We buy Stone Crab claws from a local fisherman for dinner. Sure glad we have a hammer on board the boat. You just have to remember to put the claws in a plastic bag first before you crack them with a hammer in the cockpit. I had a little boat washing to do after dinner.

Saturday night at the town park they have bands and DJ's playing music on a sound system that would be suitable for a rock concert in Yankee Stadium. We are a mile away across Hatchet Bay and our hull was practically vibrating and they did not quit until 3:30 AM Sunday morning. We had to close the hatches and turn on our fans to mask the sound, so we could sleep.
