Farm Festival

Hi everyone,
Farm festival today a short distance from our boat. There is music, vendors, and exhibits, with the harbour as a backdrop. Also good conversation to be had with various folks around the dock. It was a bit scary earlier when the 200' Lady Rosalind came in with a load of festival goers from Nassau. As she turned around in the tiny harbour and backed up to the wharf it looked like she was going to use the White Seal as a Fender, coming within about 5 feet. But it was all good.

Everyone knows I am not much of a barhopper, but we did find the perfect bar the other afternoon when we had the car. Driving thru Nicholls Town we saw a group of very old traditional buildings right by the beach. As we crawled by we got a glimpse of what looked like a bar through the heavy wood door that stood ajar to let the wind thru. We had to stop. Entering the stone building was like stepping into a time warp. Keith, the owner, welcomed us in. He said he was the 5th generation to run the place and he believes it to be about 200 years old. His friend Albert showed up and gave us a tour around the place. Very cool pace. Mary will post some pics.

Best to all, Charlie
