Little Harbor Every morning the Cruiser's Net comes across the VHF radio with local volunteers telling the residents and the visitors what activities will take place that day. We kept hearing a man named Aubry talking about the good food and good times that could be found at Pete's Pub. So on Wednesday we headed south to Little Harbor, a wonderful place hidden away from the little bit of civilization we found in the Abacos. Floating into the harbor we could see this place was different. After anchoring the boat in the calm waters we waded up to Pete's Pub, a funny looking outdoor bar built right on the sand. A land rover type vehicle was heading up the sandy drive in front, driven by a man in a floppy hat, our first glimpse of the infamous Aubry. Since we were the only patrons, he had a captive audience and he treated us well, telling stories and encouraging us to sign our names on the bar as so many others before us had done. Aubrey told us where the good snorkeling spot was, just off the fairly protected beach, and we took advantage of the information for about an hour of swimming and snorkeling. Then we walked to the other side of the island where we could see the abandoned lighthouse far up on the hill. We could also see the raging Atlantic Ocean waves crashing over sharp volcanic-looking rocks, a stark contrast to the calm waters in the harbor. We retreated to the other side and kept Aubry company for a while longer before heading back to Lubbers. On the way back to our cottage we saw the stars - not the ones in the sky, the ones in the water! There are so many star fish in the waters off Tilloo Cay that it looks like a galaxy in the sand. We rode for miles and miles watching the underwater stars appear beneath us, some alone, some in groups. It was one of the most memorable sights of the trip. Later that evening we watched the sunset from our dock while watching the tropical fish swim beneath it. There is always something to see in this part of the world. All in all a great day.
