Man-O-War

On the ninth of March, we headed southeast from Treasure to Man-O-War Cay. We anchored in a lovely bight just off the narrowest part of the island.

A few other boats were in the anchorage including a classic ketch and schooner which are part of a sail training fleet that hosts Sea Scouts from the US and The Bahamas.

The beautiful clear water was deep almost to shore where a lovely little sand beach provided a convenient access to the island. We spent two days in this beautiful spot sheltered from the wind and we went ashore each day to explore.

The main road on the island runs its entire length. Known as the Queen's Highway, it is paved in some sections, but at each end of the island it dwindles to a track. Many cottages and gardens are along the Queen's Highway and we explored the highway from end to end. This is a stretch of the highway near the end.

The next entry will tell you more about our visit to Man-O-War.
