One Particular Harbor.....

We have been on the hook now for two days! This is something different for us. Had to run our generator and am sure all of these sail boaters will be GLAD when we pull out! We have been in a neat place....Little Harbor. The only thing here is a little beach bar and gallery called "Pete's Pub and Gallery". Truly a cool little place on the beach....good food and beverage! The Pub and Gallery are owned by Peter Johnston. He is the son of Randolph and Margo Johnston who moved here in the 50's. Randolph who died in late 1992 was an internationally known artist renowned for his lost wax casting in bronze. Saturday night at Pete's was a hoot....two guys playing hand saws provided the entertainment. The bar is literally shaped like the bow of a boat sitting in the sand. This is truly "one particular harbor!" Every evening boats come rolling in and fill up the anchor balls. Last night we were sereneded at sunset by a lady playing a bagpipe on her boat. Then others blew their conch horns.



We hate to go but it is time to head west! The seas have been very angry but we are hoping and think today will be a little better. It will be a 30 mile run south before we can make the turn to the west so an east or wide wind that we have had would NOT be a good thing. At the turn, depending on the seas, we will either turn due west and head toward Great Harbor in the Berry Islands for a stopover or head southwest to Chub Cay for a couple of days of fishing in the Tongue of the Ocean. ACTM has NOT handled NOT being able to fish very well....so hopefully we will get to do a little in the next few days. One side note is that we are 220 miles from Islamorada as the crow flies and have travelled 650 miles so far!!! Wowsa! Have a wonderful Memorial Day and catch you on the flip flop!

p.s. My first great niece, Chaney Luna Werner, was born yesterday morning in St. Louis. The really cool part was that within 2 hours of her birth I was looking at a picture of her while sitting on my boat in Little Harbor, Abaco!!! Congrats to Megan and Patrick...can't wait to pinch her little cheeks!!!
