Hi to all, after leaving Little San Salvador on Good Friday morning, we arrived at Rock Sound, Eleuthera on Friday afternoon..... Rock Sound was celebrating it's annual Homecoming Festival.. where all the folks born here came back for several days of celebrating... Good Friday ,Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday are all observed as Holidays.. so nothing much open.. The music started Friday nite.... not far from our anchorage ( glad we were as far away as we were) and ended around 2:30am Saturday... Interesting, LOUD music it was!! Saturday we did chores on the boat and got together with our friends Maxwell and Jen on Anastasia and Harley and Janice on Blue Blazes... all on Anastasia's S/V, it is a Baba 35... then we all dinghyed over to shore to check out the festivities in town... They had little huts for food, jewelry, drinks, and kid stuff all lined up on the street.. and of course, their LOUD music... It was a very diverse crowd, though... Some kids from the Long Island area in New York were down on a week trip to visit their schools here... Everyone blended in and had more fun than I dare describe..... We had fritters and some really good BBQ... All towns folks were very friendly... Afterwards, we all made it back to our boats in hope of a good nite's sleep.... NOT.... Yep, music again, this time till 3:15am...
Ok it's now Easter Sunday... they got to give the music a rest, right?????? Not... it went on again till the wee hours of the morning.... Dwayne was fine.. he can sleep thru most anything, but I was just about to go postal...Finally, no music on Monday nite... still just doing boat chores since all business closed for the Easter Monday Holiday.....We did get together with Anastasia and Blue Blazes Sunday evening for a Potluck dinner... it was awesome.. Jen made a delicious Key Lime Pie that would give Key West guys a run for their money....
It's now Tuesday April 6th... Dwayne dinghyed into town for diesel oil, etc... Hoped to do laundry, but the laundrymats were no longer open... Oh well... We are waiting here for a part that we hope to come in on the mailboat on Thursday... Will be on our way heading North..
I've also attached a few pics of our short stay at Little San Salvador......Take care, Linda and Dwayne
