We are hopping across these island groups getting further North every day. Our only stop on Eleuthera was in Spanish Wells at Yacht Haven. We decided to fuel up and then get a dock space for the night...yep, we actually were connected to land for a night. It was early afternoon when we arrived so we decided to join our friends, Craig and Debbie for a golf cart ride around the island. There were many pink, blue, green, and yellow homes that were kept up very nicely...quite the change from what we were used to seeing. We went directly to the grocery store before they closed and really stocked up...it was almost like Safeway at home...but much more expensive. Then we toured the island, stopped in a few gift stores, and found a place for dinner. Craig had turtle...the waitress told us how on April 1st it was going to be illegal to fish for turtle so this was a delicacy soon to be done away with. They don't allow liquor here in Spanish Wells, not even at the restaurants. We had stopped at a "shell shop" that was located in the garage of some very friendly locals. John purchased his "Conch horn" here. That night at dinner we had decided to leave from the North of the Island as we had come in the South side and it would save us over two hours by going North. It is recommended that you hire a "pilot" to show you the way out through the reef system so we called "Ole Pot" who showed up at 7am and took us through all the shallow water and then said "You're On Your Own" but we were already through the reef...no problem man.
