Man-O-War Cay

We were up at 7:00 this morning so we could arrive around high tide as the entrance to Man-O-War Cay is very narrow. It was only a short motor/sail to the harbour. We had intended on anchoring but there is very limited room and what there is has mooring balls in it, so we decided to take one. Even the mooring balls are very close to one another as you can see by the trawler behind us! He eventually pulled back on the large chain that is part of the mooring and that helped a bit.
The town is very quaint and is much less touristy than Hopetown and Marsh Harbour. There are of course some “snowbirds” that live here in the winter but a lot of the residences are local.
The vegetation is very colourful and abundant as apposed to much of the Bahamas which is quite Sparse. There was even cotton that was in bloom.   

The weather has definitely been getting hotter and to cool off we took the dinghy  out around the harbour. This Trimaran looks like something out of Star Wars, probably goes about as fast too.
