We sleep in and mid
morning motor north 5 miles to New Bight our original destination.
There are 8 or so other boats in the anchorage. We walk up to the
Hermitage on Mt Alvernia (206 feet), the highest point in the
Bahamas.

The Hermitage is a ¼ scale monastery built by Monsignor
Jerome Hawkes, who came to the Bahamas as an architect and an
Anglican priest to repair Anglican churches on Long Island and became
a Roman Catholic Priest.

On the way back we stop at
Hidden Treasures, a beach bar/restaurant, and order Lobster for
dinner. Monday after Easter is a holiday in the Bahamas, so no
fishermen have brought the owner any lobster. She will see what she
can track down. We head back to the boat for a swim to cool off.
Before dinner we head to the bath house that was recently built on
the beach for visiting cruisers. Very nice facility with hot water.
Interesting construction, don't think I have ever seen a hollow core
door with a traditional door knob used for a shower door.

Anyways we head over to
Hidden Treasures for our grilled lobster and a Mango Daiquiri. The
owner is out of frozen mix so we bring our own Mango which she uses
to make the drink.
