January 25th Clarence Town, Long Island, Bahamas
It was windy this morning as expected. We had breakfast and then read for awhile. At about 11am we took off to explore Clarence Town Harbor.
We found some great places to hunt lobster but between the current and the wind decided to wait for another, calmer day.
The six of us hiked two or three beaches sifting through the accumulated trash. There were heart beans everywhere. Barry was throwing them at me and I just stuck them in the pockets of my swim suit. With pockets bulging, the joke was to see how many it took to make my suit fall down. We also found four hamburger beans.
By the time we returned it we were starved and had some left over stroganoff. The morning had been sunny but it clouded up during the afternoon. With no sun it seemed cool with the wind blowing at 25 knots.
This anchorage is interesting in that it is open to the east. There are a few small cays but the reef in front of us cuts out all waves. It's windy and there is a heck of a current but the boat rides comfortably.
We listened to the Spartans come back in the second half to knock off Ohio State. It sounded to me like the second half of the game was the best they've played all year. I always wonder what is said during halftime in the locker room to make such an effect.
It sounds like we will be here a few days, which we knew when we made the decision to stay. There is internet service at the marina in town that we will avail ourselves of as well as a gas station that seems to offer diesel. There are always more beaches to explore so we'll keep busy.
We had seared tuna with wasabi sauce for dinner. We only got a taste on the beach last night and decided to eat all we wanted this evening.
