Little Harbour
We sailed down and anchored off of Lynyard Cay and took our dinghy into Little Harbour, at the southernmost end of the Sea of Abaco. We decided not to take Paperbird in because we needed every bit of high tide to get in the channel. It is 4 feet at low tide and only 6 at high tide so it would be close. We just decided to go in by dinghy and spend the afternoon.

Had lunch at pete’s Pub. An outdoor sand floor little restaurant.
Walked over to the ocean side of Little Harbour.
Little Harbour was founded by Randolph Johnston, a sculptor, in the mid-50’s. When they first settled in the harbor, the family lived in a cave for about 5 years. The cave is still there but it’s not one we would like to live in. Not very deep and a little low.
The caves the family lived in when they first moved to the island in the 1950’s.
More of the caves. Lot’s of stalactites and stalagmites.
Johnston’s sculpting work has been continued by his son Pete who also runs Pete’s Pub. The bronze pieces are beautiful!
And, of course, more projects.

Looks like the trips been treating you well. Eleuthera next?
Bill,
Looks like Eleuthera and Exuma will wait for next year. Jan and Feb had cold fronts coming through about every 2-3 days with strong W-NW winds to 40 kts. So we opted to stay up in Abaco this year. We are leaving early Apr to head back to Annapolis for Grandbaby #6!! But we’re already mapping out routes and anchorages for next year and are hoping for a more favorable weather pattern. Folks here tell us it’s the worst they’ve seen in several years. Figures!
How are things in FL? Settled into the CLOD lifestyle yet?
