Saint Patrick's Day - Marsh Harbour
In the
morning, Carla took in the laundry, washed down the boat and started working on
our stainless which is looking pretty sad.
Dwayne and Carol went over the charts planning for the crossing over to
Spanish Wells. It is another 60 mile open
ocean journey with no place to hide if the weather turns bad. We all went to Wally’s for lunch. The conch chowder was excellent and grouper
nanatu became a new favorite. Lime pie
served as dessert along with a tasty treat – a Gully Wash (Coconut Water,
Condensed Milk and Gin).

After lunch,
we returned to the marina. Carla picked
up the laundry and we got ready for the parade.
The Marsh Harbour St. Patrick’s Day Parade began at the Memorial Park
where participants were provided with green beads to wear and Sands beer to
drink. The parade began at 5 PM
sharp. Our first stop was about 100
yards down the road where Jimmy’s Liquor Shop served up more Sands beer and
Guiness Stout to the thirsty folks marching in the parade. We resumed marching and after about 100
yards, we stopped at Wally’s for green tinted Gully Wash and rum jello
shots. From Wally’s we crossed the
street and completed the parade route at Snappas where we were served a green
rum cocktail. A fine time was had by all
who participated in the shorted St. Partick’s Day Parade in the Bahamas.

We ended the
evening with a great meal of corned beef, cabbage and boiled potatoes prepared
by Carol in her wonderful pressure cooker.
Carla brought a lime pie for dessert.
Frank made good with more Guiness Stout.
It was a green day in the Bahamas.
