These pictures are some of the Christmas decorations around the town of Marsh Har
bor. The mermaids have on Santa hats when it is 78 degrees outside. The bougainvillea are in full bloom and have icicle lights behind them. The town has Christmas trees on many corners as well as the decorations at the ONLY stop light in Marsh Harbor
We have been anchored in the harbor at Marsh Harbor for 5 days. It is a well protected harbor from most directions and a very comfortable anchorage.
Marsh Harbor is the 3rd largest city in the Bahamas and the capital of the Abacos. The Abacos have a population of just over 14,000 of which 5,100 live in Marsh Harbor. There are wonderful grocery and hardware stores here and you can find about anything you need in the stores. Standard Hardware has everything you need to build a house!
We have been walking around town and exploring. It was nice to find fresh cilantro in the grocery store so I could make Chinese Cole Slaw. Tuesday was very windy, which makes for a very wet dinghy ride to shore, so we stayed on the boat doing little projects and straightening up. It is amazing how messy things can get in such a short time!
XM satellite radio has 3 stations that have 24 hour Christmas music. We started listening to them around the middle of December, so we now know all the words to every song by heart. Today the Smooth Jazz station is doing 12 hours of Christmas. Wayne is happy to have the break from the other stations! We have decided the white Christmas we are dreaming of is the ones with white sandy beaches and 78+ degrees. And as we say "Life is good...on a boat".
Love and hugs to everyone from Jill and Wayne on Born to Cruise. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and safe travels!!!
