Pittstown Point, Crooked Island, Bahamas

We left Atwood Harbour with a nice east breeze and had a terrific sail 32 miles to the tip of Crooked Island. 

 Now & Zen sailing past Bird Rock lighthouse.



Chris, the manager of the marina came and helped us tie up.  We were the only 3 boats in the huge marina.


We had visited the under-construction marina last year -nice to see that it's almost complete.  They are not "completely open" yet - no power or water at the docks, but they're getting close. 

We got a ride to the nicely stocked grocery store about 3 miles away - when we returned there was a huge catamaran - 88 foot long and 115 foot mast.  (You can get an idea of scale when you see that there are 2 crewmen standing on top of the bimini working at the boom and they look like tiny little specks).




A view of the nice airstrip adjacent to the marina.



We made arrangements for dinner at the clubhouse.  First drinks and appetizers at the bar.  The best conch fritters I believe we've ever had.




And over to the restaurant for a lovely dinner.  Hope this place does well in the future!

  1. I love to draw lighthouses...I've drawn all of the ones I've visited...they're fun studies in perspective...
