After Frank departed we sailed over to Eleuthera to Rock Harbour and then onto Governor's Harbour.  A few pictures from Governor's harbour....

From Governor’s Harbour we sailed on Friday, February 22nd to Hatchett Bay.  It has a narrow opening cut into the rock with a harbor inside that provides complete wind protection.  We stayed there overnight then continued on the next day past the “Glass Window”….a very narrow stretch of Eleuthera Island where you can see from the bank side to the Atlantic Ocean.  It is traversed by a bridge that has been removed by various hurricanes and rebuilt numerous times!  We passed through Current Cut that can have a wicked 6 knot current against you if you don’t time it right…fortunately we did get it right!  We sailed into Spanish Wells late in the afternoon.  We went ashore and walked around the small community.  It is known for its fishery.  We arranged to visit Dunmore Town on Harbour Island with Walt & Erin from the sailboat, Santosha using a water taxi since using our own boats would mean traversing a tricky coral reef called Devil’s Backbone.  Dunmore Town is known for its beautiful wide, pink coral beach and quaint streets lined with bougainvillea and hibiscus shrubs.  The town lived up to its reputation.  After walking through the town streets, Walt & I rented a golf cart to explore a little further afield.
