Still in the Berry Islands March 21-26 (now updated with pictures)



Our new slip at the marina.  Close to the laundry and showers (think free water in these showers versus 50 cents a gallon on board)



Weather was near 90 a couple days with just a sprinkle or two all week. The refrigerator has a hard time keeping up as we don't run the A/C to much given the 75 cents a KWH price!
The week was spent exploring the island by bicycle and dinghy.  We rode basically every road on the island!  My guess is the island is about 9 miles long and we rode the street from end to end. 

Also rode into the town of Bullock Harbor and did some grocery shopping.  There are two stores there plus one here at the marina so we were able to find everything we needed.
We went to lunch at Coolie Mae's and enjoyed great food and a great view from the porch.  Here is a view from the dinghy of the restaurant.

 

Getting to the end of the road.  The captain had to throw stones at a snake in the road to make sure it was dead and not sleeping in the sun before we went past it!



One morning we went exploring Turtle Creek at high tide.  Yes we actually got up early to do this.  We must have seen 30-40 turtles.  and they are FAST when they want to be!
Early morning dinghy exploration.

The beach on the east side of the island was great for walking.

 

The island power plant (diesel).

 

 

 

 Oh, and Bardot beach was just around the corner from the marina.  A nice spot to just chill out.

 

 

 

Haven't done any snorkeling yet as the waves have been a bit large for our liking. We took the dinghy almost all the way to the cruise ship anchorages one day.  Again, this was a high tide run as the route is basically mud at low tide. Today (Saturday) we are leaving the marina for anchoring out for a few days.  Then we plan to go to a marina in Spanish Wells and island near Eleuthera for a few days, then on to the Abacos.  All this is weather dependent of course, as the crossing to Spanish Wells and then to the Abacos is open ocean for 60 miles or so.
We'll add some pictures in a week or so assuming we have a better internet connection.
Thanks for following our adventure.
