This year we were determined to see the Barefoot Man Concert, a free festival held at the famous Nippers Bar & Grill. So we headed to Guana Cay on Friday February 29, an eleven mile sail with a solid breeze. We joined quite a few other boats in Fisher's Bay. One of the sailboats was already in the spirit of the weekend displaying signal flags that spelled out Barefoot Man.
On Saturday afternoon, we went ashore to check out the settlement. We joined a crowd of visitors who were already ashore After enjoying the music and view of the ocean at Nippers (at left)., we headed down to Fisher's Bay to listen to the tunes of Steel Daddy at Grabbers, a bar at Sunset Beach.

We also stopped by a fund-raiser for the newly formed Guana Cay Youth Sailing Club. Folks were raising money to purchase Optimist Prams to teach local youngsters the basics of sailing. The parents and kids had a bar set up along the street, a raffle and a silent auction.
In the spirit of the moment, I bid on a lunch for two at a popular Marsh Harbor restaurant named Curly Tails. Then I bought a Barefoot Man T-Shirt to further help the cause. Unfortunately I now had less cash than I had bid for the auction.
Peter chivalrously volunteered to return to the boat for more money. Good thing he did, because mine was the highest bid. Now we can look forward to Conch Burgers and Kaliks at Curly Tails the next time we head for Marsh Harbor. MMMMmmmm....Tasty!
