Barbara likes to comb the shore line at low tide looking for, well I am not sure exactly, but she comes back with all kinds of stuff. This trip it is predominately sea biscuits. Frequently she finds conch, but pickings are slim anymore. I think the conch have been over fished around the populated areas. Too bad, too. Thirty years ago when my parents moved here you could walk out at almost any low tide and bring home dinner.
Harbour Light has porches on three sides, the largest faces the Sea of Abaco and the island of Great Abaco. It is terrific for sunsets.
Besides the main house there is a one bedroom guest house and a tool shed that also houses the auxiliary generator. The power here is spotty, so the generator is a must have item.
If you are wondering how we get our location in the blog (see the right margin), we use the SPOT personal locator. Besides tracking our location on the website you access through our link, it sends an I’m OK signal via satellite and email to selected addresses. It also has the capability of sending an SOS to a central office that can alert the proper authorities to come to our aid. While in the states there is also a road service capability. If we breakdown where there is no cellular service we can hit that button and that same office calls our roadside service contractor and supposedly help is on its way. Haven’t tried it and hope we never do.
Here on the left is the SPOT at the base of Man of War light.
