Andros

Hi everyone,

First time on Andros and so far we really like it! Not many cruisers come here, mainly because anchorages are few and marginal. We are in Morgan's Bluff, Henry Morgan's old pirate hangout. We were anchored last night in the outer harbour but moved into the inner harbour today with the threat of another cold front. We were able to score a dock face, albeit one of the sorriest docks I have ever tied to in a half century of boating. However, the fee is only 6 bucks a night and we are smack dab in the centre of activity.

This island is big, over 100 miles long and 40 wide. Only 8000 people live here. We have met a handful of locals already. We may try to rent a car on Thursday to see more of the island. Today we went to Morgan's cave where he supossedly kept his loot. We were also intrigued by a tugboat driven ashore in the harbour. It had beautiful lines and I was rather smitten by it as was Mary. I googled it and found it was built in 1908. Very sad to see it now.

We will try and stay thru Saturday for a farm festival. There is a possibility that we may head back to the States soon with the next good weather window.

Best to all, Charlie
