Here is a shot of the marina we stayed at for the last month. It was a fine facility and the help there is very good. If they could just keep the restaurant hours predictable everyone could have planned to have a party there instead of the dock party.
Today we plan on doing some more shopping in Marsh. We were there yesterday and picked up some batteries for the TDS (total disolved solids) water tester so we can drink with relative safety.
It seems most of the water down here is made via reverse osmosis just like the water maker in our boat. Finicky devices these things are. You have to back flush them with fresh water occassionally and if there is any chlorine in it, the membranes will be destroyed.
When we were done shopping yesterday we stopped in at Curly Tails for a burger. While we were there some new friends we made over at Orchid Bay pulled in with their 80 footer. Six staterooms and heads, two washer dryers, V12 MTUs and a heap of other features that make for a great ride.
As it turned out it started pouring so we spent a little more time at Curly's than we planned to when Mads, Loni and Joe showed up. With luck I'll get some good photos of the Harbour and town today.
If you click on the photo and zoom in, you will see a couple on their swim platform moving props around at Orchid Bay. The boat off the bow of their boat is the 80 footer. These folks unfortunately winged a prop while anchoring at Man-O-War Cay. The boat spun around the anchor with a wind shift and bounced on a rock. We saw the props when we passed their transom on the way out. It was ugly. Since our props (Nibril composition) are over 3K a pop and theirs are larger, I'm betting this ain't gonna be a cheap fix.
