Eleuthera: Governors Harbor
Left Glass Window for Gregory Town to pick up a mooring since there is no good holding in Pitman Bay or nearby. When we arrived about 10:30 we could not find any indication of moorings and there was very little activity (no one) around. We went on to HatchetBay and Alicetown and found all the moorings occupied. Opted to proceed to Governors Harbour and spend a couple days and do laundry.
Arrived Governors Harbour to find only one mooring ball with a different version of Kon Tiki attached to it. Anchored in the Harbour with 3 others. Going ashore to explore the town, the shops, and the restuarants.
We found Governor's Harbour to be very pleasant. Nice people, good places to eat, shop, and do laundry. This town has the largest Library outside of Nassau. We had a visit from SANITY II while we were away from the boat, so we missed them. They are good friends of Van and Loren's. We stayed here two nights.
We are sailing alone now. Brian and Lynn are stuck at Bimini because of winds, and Van and Loren have had company for a week so they are still in Spanish Wells. Both MIDORI and GRATITUDE will be along when they can. In the mean while, we are just taking our time, watching the weather, and "gunk holing" from one island to the next.
