| For less than $50 round trip, Spanish Wells - Harbour Town, takes ~half hour each way, the fast ferry leaves you with about four too-short hours to enjoy Harbour Island. |
Who
hangs out in Harbour Town, Eleuthera?
British
royalty. Mick Jagger and Lenny
Kravitz.
 |
| Vrooom! A narrow channel didn’t seem to hamper the ferry’s speed. |
Local
homeowners include Bill Gates, Revlon chairman Ron Perelman, duty-free tycoon
Robert Miller, J. Crew CEO Mickey Drexler, media mogul Barry Diller and wife
Diane von Furstenberg, and former Miami Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga.
 |
| Even in exclusive Harbour Town, chickens cross the road (and boat). |
And
me, for a few blissful hours anyhow.
Didn’t see any celebs (though wouldn’t likely recognize any anyway), but
did hang out with “Krazy Lady” aka Ann and Andy of Andante, and a free-range
chicken or two.
 |
| Even a simple cement dock was pretty with Harbour Island’s water as a backdrop |
Why?
Will
let the photos tell this tale….

| Conch midden, another testament to an abundant appetite for conch. |
Location Location
May 19, 2014 BAHAMAS Allan-Pensacola Cay, (N26.59.350 W77.41.353), though this is a recent retrospective from when we were in Spanish Wells, Eleuthera (N25.32.484 W76.44.728) late April - early May, 2014. Tomorrow we head off for Double Breasted, between 35-40 miles. From there. we’ll leave the Abacos the first viable weather window to Florida -- most likely the next day. It's about 110 miles to Ft. Pierce, which we'll sail as an overnight passage, as we typically average ~5 miles / hour sailing.

| Too busy taking in the sights on a tight schedule to rest in this restful spot. |

The gal at the Harbour Island tourist office directed us to this favorite spot of hers. |
 |
| In the same area; we were told this "fake" tree was added later, but it still looked cool to us. |
 |
| Who can resist taking a photo of a little blue wooden skiff with a backdrop this beautiful? |
 |
| Eleuthera is renowned for its pineapples. |

| Valentine’s pink sand beach, Atlantic side, Harbour Island. |
 |
| The water is even dreamier than the pink sand beach. |
