Man O War Bay, Great Inagua, Bahamas

We started the day with a little bike ride to Bahamas Immigration to get our visa's renewed.  When we arrived in November, they gave us 120 days on our visa.   We're not  close to that expiration, but we don't know where we'd be at the 120 day mark.  So, we asked the Immigration agent if he would go on and renew early - and he very nicely obliged.  Now we have until June 21st to leave the country (or renew) - so we've got that chore taken care of.

Then it was time to get some fuel.  But there is no fuel at the dock.....so we arranged for the local gas guy to bring it to us!

First we all had to move over to the government dock so the fuel truck could drive up to us.




We all got settled and waited for the fuel guy.



He arrived and quickly got busy pumping both diesel and gasoline (his truck has two tanks/pumps).


Fueling Sojourn



And What If.



Then we had a great 10 mile sail to the northern anchorage - here What If is sailing past the Morton Salt barge being loaded.



We're anchored at Man O War Bay - near an abandoned little settlement. 





Anchored just inside a large coral reef - should be spectacular snorkeling tomorrow!!




Dinner was on Sojourn - What If brought a warm spinach dip and fresh warm french bread from their bread machine for appetizer, I made a really, really spicy fish curry made with the wahoo we'd caught earlier for a one dish dinner served over Jasmine rice and Now & Zen brought brownies with a spray can of whipped cream for desert!!  Wow, I'll need to snorkel and swim for hours tomorrow to work some of those calories off!!

  1. That water is so so blue...your title reminded me of when Sondra came home from vacation one year talking about the Man-O-War they had seen at the beach...
