Marsh Harbor

We are in Marsh Harbor this week. Marsh Harbor is the third largest city in the Bahamas. It is also cruisers central for the Abacos. The harbor is large and can accommodate a lot of boats, which is the case. This is the largest gathering of boats we have encountered thus far. They have good shopping here and the best chance of getting a repair or finding a part. The prices are higher but not extremely so if you are careful. Each morning on the VHF radio there is a cruisers net at 8:15 lasting about 45 minutes to an hour. They cover weather, news, sports, community events, commercial announcements, trivia, anyone flying to the US willing to carry mail, open mike, new arrivals, departures and more. This is how everyone keeps up and stays tuned to what is going on. It is very well run and really helpful. We did some fishing one afternoon and caught several snappers and grunts. While they were small there was enough to make a meal for each of the three boats. We cooked ours on the grill the same day and they were very good.
