Day #204 - Marsh Harbour, Abaco
February 20th, 2009We rented a car for the day and drove quite a distance around Great Abaco. We visited Little Harbor and the legendary Pete’s Pub and Gallery. It is located about 20 miles from Marsh Harbour and a pretty drive. It is very isolated and way off the road.
We found our way there keeping in mind that in this country it is left hand drive even though the care had left wheel steering. They tried to eleviate the problem by placing larger red letter on the rearview mirror with an arrow pointing left saying “Keep Left.”
Pete’s Pub sits right in the little harbour and also has an art gallery and foundry. The restaurant hangs tshirts all over the ceiling and walls.
We met an American from Michigan named Larry who showed us around the area on foot. We hiked up to a deserted lighthouse with an exceptional view which looks out over the ocean. They even had people surfing there.
After a delicious cheeseburger lunch we got back in the car and drove another 30 miles to Sandy Point. Not much there to speak of. We happened to be on the dock when conch fishermen came in from their day of fishing. From the photo it looks as though they were quite successful.
It was a beautiful day with Patti and Brad and a great experience to see the island. Today was sunny, breezy and high in the low 70s.
