Moving at a slower pace, we spent the morning on the boat. Sarah cleaned and polished dthe stainless steel on the portside of the boat showing signs of rust from all the salt while Harry caught up with life back home. We then hiked up the tallest peak in the Bahamas - all 206 feet to a little Hermitage where Father Jerome who built many churches in the Bahamas spent his final years.

We also stumbled upon a little fair taking place celebrating the 179th year of the Bahama National Defense Force that includes the police. Families were hanging out, drinking beer, listening to a DJ while the kids got free ice cream and hotdogs and had a piñata. So we joined in, buying a beer from the sailing club which had on it’s wall, a picture of one of their founders -Godfrey Kelly - a Snipe sailor from Nassau we know. We then hit the ice cream hut and indulged in a cone that only set us back $1 a cone, making it perhaps the best bargain in all the Bahamas.
