Saturday we cruised a short 5 miles from Man-O-War Cay to Marsh Harbour.
Marsh Harbour is the largest town in the Abacos. It is located on Great Abaco Island. It was time for provisioning so we anchored out in the harbor for 2 nights. Besides stocking up on supplies, we enjoyed dining at the local restaurants and a small amount of shopping therapy for the first mate. The highlight of our stay here was a fabulous dinghy adventure to stunning Matt Lowe Cay and snorkeling Mermaid Reef.
Monday we crossed back to the barrier islands to Hope Town located on Elbow Cay. Hope Town is a picturesque settlement and is home of the famous red & white Elbow Reef Lighthouse. This is one of the few manually operated, kerosene lit, fresnel lens lighthouses remaining in the world. Climbing to the top of the lighthouse was great exercise and was well worth the climb. The panoramic view from the top was awesome!
