We rented the car noon to
noon, so we head out at 7:00AM, for our drive north on the island to
the Stella Maris Resort for breakfast.

Then we head to the Columbus
Monument on the north end of the island marking one of the many
sights where Columbus “first saw” land in North America. The
monument glosses over the fact that the Spanish shipped off all the
native Indians (40,000) from the various islands to enslavement in
Cuba and Hispaniola over the next 30 years after his arrival. The
islands remained depopulated for the next 150 years.

We return the car at noon
time. Quickest car rental return ever. Since we paid cash we just
leave the key under the floor mat and we are done. Stopped for lunch
at the Sou' Side and back to
the boat. I tried to revive our WiFi router which “bricked”
itself, which means the software is corrupted and all it is good for
is a brick. To get internet on the boat from a WiFi source, now, we
have to plug our booster directly into the ethernet connector on one
of our laptops. Only our oldest laptop has an ethernet connector, new
ones are WiFi only. Fortunately good cell
coverage in the Bahamas gives us most of our internet access using
our cell phone as a hotspot.
