Marsh Harbor Week 2

We are enjoying ourselves at the marina here with daily excursions walking from place to place or taking the marina courtesy bikes.  This morning we were walking to Skaggs supermarket when we were asked if we needed a ride. We accepted the lift from a very friendly woman and even though the ride was short it was pleasant.  Skaggs is known for it's seafood (frozen) with lobster in abundance for sure.  We decided on frozen shrimp for dinner tomorrow.
The weather outlook is not that good and we should be here for another week.  At present it is blowing around 32 knots with a windy forecast for the remainder of the week.  We are getting the boat nice and clean with the fresh water washes every couple of days.  We also have cable TV with the Winter Olympics toping the list of watched shows and World News a daily event.  We have weather channels for Miami, New Jersey, Los Angeles, etc.,  so we know how bad this winter has taken its toll on those areas.

The marina where we currently are has a Happy Hour Social on Thursday evenings with drinks being 2 for 1 and everyone making their best appetizer.  
When we take our dingy into town a Bahamian rushes over to help us tie up and he is also waiting for us when we return.  He remembers us from last year when we gave him a bottle of rum in the morning for all his help.  That evening when we returned to the dock we found him laying on the cement ramp with 3/4 of the bottle gone.  Ed walked over to him to see if he was alive.  It took some doing but he managed to awaken him for a few seconds before he passed out again after his jacket was placed under his head acting as a pillow.  This year I think we will give him just a couple of Budweisers.
Our plans do call for leaving in a few days heading to Treasure Cay or Guana.  Wherever we go it will be nice.  Treasure Cay has a beautiful beach (one of the nicest in the world) and Guana is the party cay with Nippers and Grabbers toping the list as a great night out with the cruising as well as the land based tourist community. The Barefoot Man will make his yearly appearance at Nippers this coming weekend with several concerts. That place will be rocking to say the least.  They have a pool right next to the bar and at times the party turns into a naked free for all at the pool with cocktails in hand and the music on level 10!
All in a night out at Nippers.  Grabbers is another place that is somewhat keyed down but their food is the best.  Our favorite is Italian night.
