Marsh Harbour Bahmas, Central Abaco, Bahamas
Good morning

I'm behind in my blogging sorry folks but I'll update yesterdays later today and also will fill you in on where we are going to be tonight .

The Internet at this marina is slowwwww so not alot of pictures were loaded but at some point it will.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Well as all you boaters know every day is a new day and new changes to the plan. We started our cruise slowly leaving Hope Town skipper at the helm and I went to start the generator which it did start then promptly gave an alarm so I tried a few times and turned it off. The skipper and Craig tinkered with it for a while and we turned around and went back to our slip. After working on it for a while the decision was made to call an engine dude he works out of Marsh Harbour so we packed up and made our way over to Abaco Beach Resort. The marina is very protected by a man made break water a good place to be protected from the storm brewing. After docking we went for a stroll around the property, registered and got the local information. Turns out there is a Marsh Harbour Yacht club which gives it's members discounts all over the Bahama's so we may look into doing that . The day was warm / hot so Marjorie and I spent some good quality time at the pool both in Hope Town in the morning and here in the afternoon, so although the days plans changed it was wonderful. The mechanic arrived and sorted out the generator issue, changed the broken part. Cudo's to the skipper for having a spare part on board that was needed!  

This marina is really nice very resort like, very small gym, 2 pools, laundry, showers, gift shop very well maintained.

We enjoyed a drink at the pool bar and made our way back to the boat for a great night in. On the Menu Edamame beans followed by pizza meat lovers and also smoked salmon...I buy corn free plain pizza and dress them up, I'm so thankful for our little toaster oven :-)

This gourmet feast was followed by a few games of dice...I've still not won a game but I'm hopeful hehe. As the evening started to end the storm started to hit with high winds and rain, rain, rain we are hopeful that it will be rained out by morning.
