Governor’s Harbour
After Rock Sound, we moved up the coast a bit to Governors Harbour, the original capital of the Bahamas. The anchorage in Governors Harbor isn’t quite as secure as other places, so we didn’t stay long. But we did find a beautiful pink sand beach on the other side of the island. Fortunately we were there on a Friday night, which means we were able to enjoy the weekly Friday Night Fish Fry. The whole town turns out for music and dancing in the streets, and several booths cooking everything from fish to chicken, to conch with all the usual sides. Quite the experience. It was a little strange since there is a healthy non-cruising tourist population in Governors Harbour, the first place so far we’ve really seen many people other than locals or cruisers.
