While at Long Island, Thompson Bay anchorage, there were many boats anchored. Eva decided to arrange a dinner with Trifina at Club Thompson Bay with her famous Bahamian Buffet as a get together for all. Thursday evening was the arranged night for about 20 cruisers. The dinner started with a "Happy Hour" ( a necessity for cruisers). Then the Buffet was presented in its full Bahamian Glory with mismatched platters of fabulous food for the now very hungry gang. The buffet included, ribs, chicken, fresh battered grouper, mac n' cheese, peas and rice, cole slaw, potato salad, fried plantains, and other Bahamian goodies prepared for us. The cost was a very reasonable $15.00 per person not including drinks.

On Friday, we rented a car with Bob and Pat from "Maverick" and got to see the island from one end to the other. Some of the sites included the Columbus Monument which was constructed as a tribute to the arrival of Christopher Columbus, Dean's Blue Hole, which is the worlds deepest blue hole plunging 663 feet to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean; Clarence Town which is the home of St. Paul's Anglican Church and St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church both built by Father Jerome Hawes; Cape Santa Maria Bay and Beach which is one of the newest resorts on the island; Stella Maris Resort which is another resort and Adderley's Plantation which was a cotton plantation. The rented car was a newer silver colored small car and it was put through the ultimate test on some of the narrow rocky, pothole covered roads that had branches scraping the vehicle on both sides. This car looked like it was buffed with an electric buffer but using sandpaper instead of a polishing disc. The car was returned in a rainy morning and was all wet concealing ALL of the scratches.
