Day #217 - Marsh Harbour, Abacos

March 5th, 2009

Sort of a cool start to the day today, but it warmed up as the day progressed.  Took a nice walk this morning but it was brisk.  Spent most of the day doing boat chores.  Andy washed the boat, I did laundry and then we went into town via the dinghy.  Laundry dried quickly as the wind was stiff.


In town we went to the local seafood shop.  Today they offered fresh conch, mahi mahi and crab.  She also grows her own tomatoes so we bought a few of those.

On our way back to the boat, through the mooring field, we came across a boat with a familiar name.


For those of you who are not familiar with the name, a curlew is a shore bird.  We used to have a sailboat named Curlew.

It is warming up nicely now and we plan to grill lobsters ($3.25 each) with Patti and Brad tonight.  At that price they are one half the price of chicken breasts here in the Abacos.
