Rib Night at the Jib Room and walk around the Harbour




Last night was Rib Night. People sign up their boat name and provide the number of folks coming from the boat to help the staff estimate the crowd size. Looking at the roster and subsequent crowd I'd say there were 30 boats or so of people for ribs. The menu consisted of half a rack of babybacks with a zippy island bbq, cole slaw, potoatoe salad, baked beans, and bread. All of the food was terrific and it only cost 25 bucks a head. Not bad for the location and considering we all ate on picnic tables it was a fair price.


Afterwards they had a DJ and we danced to all sorts of music including the infamous hit by the band 'Smokie' regarding Alice. You have to imagine a mess of retired people singing the refrain to this song. "Alice, ALICE WHO THE +*^% IS ALICE?"


Then on to today.


We walked all around the Harbour to Abaco Beach Resort andBoat Harbour Marina. This is quite a place, the largest marina we've seen here in the Bahamas. When the fishing tournaments get going the crane in one of the photos is used to haul up the fish they catch here.


From there we walked back into Mangos where I had a cocktail with lunch. I like a Godfather which is Scotch with Amareto over ice. Look at the size of the glass they pour drinks in down here. Only one is required.


After lunch since we only had one round we were able to walk all the way back to the boat where I proceded to take a two hour nap.
I'll upload some more photos to the bucket. We ran into a community map there which seemed a bit off. We consider it somewhat odd but I'm sure it's going to be amusing to several folks.
