Nipper's~Great Guana Cay

We spent Monday and Tuesday in Marsh Harbour at Harbour View Marina.  Marsh Harbour is really nice and has just about everything that you would need except CO'2 tanks for my soda stream.  They have a really nice grocery store (Maxwell's) that is comparable to King Soopers.  We met some really great people in the marina and had a great time eating their ox tail stew. We rented a scooter and ran all over the island which was a lot of fun.

Then we headed for Man of War Cay and then the trouble began.  I unzipped the canvas cover to the entryway and the wind kicked up and it blew off the boat.  We went back to find it and it must have sunk.  Then the thunderstorm came and we headed back to Marsh Harbour tried to anchor and I backed over the dinghy rope which stopped the starboard engine.   Then the winless wouldn't work so  Wes had to manually drop the anchor.  We finally got anchored and once the thunderstorm passed, Wes dove down to get the rope untangled from the prop.  It was a very eventful afternoon.

We finally made it to Man of War Cay and picked up a mooring ball. 

We met some really nice people that were moored right behind us.  Some of them were actually from Steamboat, CO and the others were from Ohio.  It was their last night cruising so they asked if we wanted their left over provisions, which consisted of a ton of stuff from Gin to Cinnamon.  Thank you Ocean Breeze and we hope to see you again in the tropics.

Today we made it to Great Guana Cay.  We dropped the sail off with Jay on Man of War to have it repaired along with the canvas measurements for the cover that I lost and hopefully he will have them done by Tuesday as he said, but again, we are on island time.  

We are now at Nippers for a little relaxation rum, which is an awesome beach bar that overlooks the 3rd largest barrier reef.

Nippers bar which is where I will be watching the Broncos game on Sunday

To all my Banker friends, don't you wish you had hours like this?????
