Five days at Harbour View Marina in Marsh Harbour, after our 2 Feb arrival. The winds are high and keeping us in port. Besides some time for maintenance and relaxing we rented a car on the 7th and began touring the area to check on the restorations following hurricane Dorian. Progress has been slow as all building materials are shipped in and contractors and labor are not plentiful. But, the rebuilds are well done and attractive. Surprisingly, there’s a substantial boom in home new-builds throughout the cays … and, they are not small residences or condo communities. Mainly offshore folks and many American citizens that are drawn to the community atmospheres in the Abacos versus primarily resort layouts of many Caribbean destinations. Tomorrow we’ll visit outlying locations by car like Little Harbour with Pete’s Pub and Cherokee in the more southern end of Abaco Cay. Also, the docks are becoming pretty full of boats and we’re enjoying the company of the other boaters and trash talking the weather. The forecast calls for calm seas, light winds and sunshine all next week, so we’ll be moving around and anchoring. The pictures below show the bay from Colors Restaurant and a snapshot of a nearby neighborhood in Marsh Harbour.
