Sometimes experiences take place that reinforce your belief that things happen for a reason. Of course it's easier to say that when it is a happy experience. The weather causing us to come into Harbour Cay marina has turned out to be one of those happy experiences that we will not soon forget. Once through the cut the water was nearly flat, YEAH! You have to round a second corner before you see the marina. They weren't kidding when they call this a hurricane hole. It is tucked quite a ways back in the island. As we approached our assigned dock several people were there to lend a hand. One of them an old boating friend from Alabama that we had not seen in several years. Once Laughter was securely tied to the dock the introductions flowed. It warms the heart when so many people make a point to introduce themselves to the newbie in town.
Soon after our arrival one of the local fishermen approached us selling lobster and grouper. We bought a dozen lobster for $25.00. With so much lobster I really hoped that I would learn to like it. Not! I just don't care for the consistency.
Saturday afternoon was spent enjoying the sunshine and hunting shells on 1000 foot beach. Large and small empty conch shells were plentiful. Saturday evening we attended the 50th birthday party thrown for a fellow boater Crisall by her husband Don. Crisall is referred to very kindly as the mayor here. She makes sure everyone knows about upcoming activities and even helps organize one or two. The party was held at an enclosed patio at the Tamboo Club building on the grounds of the marina. There were quite a few people in attendance including locals, and a city councilman. Music, food and fireworks made for a great Saturday night.
