Royal Island
Went into town again in the morning to have a propane bottle filled only to find that the service station is closed on Saturday and Sunday, we carry 60 pounds of propane and still have 20 pounds left so it’s wasn’t a emergency to have it filled, we’ll try again when we get to the Abacos. We lifted anchor at 1330 hrs and was anchored again at Royal Island by 1445 hrs, tomorrow we plan on going to the Abacos and this is a good spot to depart from. Royal Island has a nice protected harbour and is slatted to have a marina and resort but development has come to a halt, it’s fenced off with construction equipment and supplies on site but no work going on, we did see a truck drive by a few times and they have a generator operating to supply power for lighting etc. but that’s about all
