Little Harbour

 I have to say that one of our favorite stops in the Abacos has to be Little Harbour. While there isn't much here, what is here shines. They have Pete's Pub and Gallery which is definitely a favorite among cruisers. The food here is good and reasonably priced.  The gallery has many bronze castings on display that can be bought by those with deep pockets. While there are smaller items available, when you look at them your heart sinks when you think about the others. Simply magnificent art here.
 Anyway, the ride down from Hope Town was uneventful. We only churned up sand a couple of times crossing from Elbow over to Lubbers. All in all a good transit. North Bar inlet also cooperated in that we had some rollers coming in that bounced us around for a while but it was nothing serious. Only 2-3 about 3 seconds apart and it was off the port bow. Going into it is always easier to manage but it is a bit rougher on the skeleton.
 Once inside Little Harbour we grabbed a mooring and then went to lunch at Pete's. A couple of Blasters, some seared tuna, pasta salad and cole slaw and we were set.
 Tomorrow, well, we'll see. Maybe we'll wind up in Eleuthera.

 I've added some photos to the bucket. The one of more interest was a 70 footer that thought it could handle the Little Harbour entrance at mid tide. Not. We only pull 3.5 to 4 feet but I'm thinking that boat needed a bit more. Given where it was I might have continued on since there were in the skinny water already. Maybe they were churning sand and thought otherwise. Heck it's only money and I bet their props are only 10 or 15 grand a pop.

 GPS data will have been updated shortly as well.
