CODA : Back in Spanish Wells for another day, Bahamas.
6 March 2025
Spanish Wells Yacht Haven, Spanish Wells, Eleuthera, Bahamas
The winds are blowing 30 knots out of the west today and only a few kite surfers are enjoying this.
Marc- We spent another day here waiting for a weather window to cross over to the Abacos Islands. The wind shifted to the west and increased to 30 knots making a passage rather rough out of here. The marina is full of people waiting for the weather to improve before moving on. There is always boat maintenance to do and we have not run out of things to see and do here. We took a great beach walk along the northwest shore seeing beautiful beaches, dunes, and cottages. We even met a kite surfer from Indiana who explained the whole process to us. You have to be in excellent physical shape for that sport.
Many beautiful flowering bushes here.
Bottlebrush plant with conch shell base.
We went down to the waterfront to get a few small boat items. This boat was clearly provisioning for a long trip.
Every public school here calls itself an "all age school". I am not sure what this means. The kids that we have seen look like they range from kindergarten to middle school age.
We saw some nice cottages on this beach.
These are nice.
Let's check this one out.
It's bigger than it seems.
Smaller cottages.
Nice colors.
We went out for a pizza at the marina restaurant tonight. There really is no such thing as in-door seating around here so it was bit cool as our cold front kept coming through this evening. The food was fine.
"Wreckers" in Bahamian history refers to the early settlers here who were known for salvaging goods from shipwrecks, initially for survival and later as a major economic activity, with some even luring foreign ships o their demise on the reefs in the area.
