Marsh Harbor 2- Abaco Resort and Beach Club

January 23-25, 2023

Yesterday (Sunday), I developed a VERY painful ear ache. So today (Monday), I had to run over to the clinic for some treatment. Fortunately, by the time I got there, I no longer had any symptoms, and the doctor, who was very good, could find no sign of infection.

Our marina neighbor helping get Guinness back to the boat after Rod left for the clinic.

Meanwhile, Lynn got a mani/pedi.(Walked almost a mile to the salon but it was worth it. However, the island had no water, so it was a dry mani/pedi – but they did a great job!).

We were told not to expect much in Marsh Harbour, but we have found everything to our liking. The nail salon was great. The clinic was great. The restaurants are great. And the staff here is friendly and capable. We are very impressed by Marsh Harbour’s efforts to recover, and this resort in particular has been a home run.

TUESDAY
This was a relaxed day. We made a late start, lying in bed reading and messing around on the Internet (yes, it was working!)

Then a leisurely walk into town for lunch at Colors. Shrimp tacos – special prices on tacos and margueritas for Taco Tuesday.

We met a young family at Fatty’s next door, and the little girls got to show us the shells they had found.

On the way home, we stopped at the Conch Inn and Marina, which is being beautifully rebuilt. The owner, Michael Aubury, told us stories of living through Hurricane Dorian on his home island – Man’o’War Cay. Amazingly, no one was killed, or even injured. But all the buildings there were destroyed. As was The Conch Inn and Marina, which he owns, in Marsh Harbor. 250+mph winds. Unimaginable.

The Conch Inn is open for business and we will be trying the attached restaurant, Snappa’s, soon.

After we returned (after too many Margueritas) we fell back into bed for a nap, and then had a lovely afternoon just talking – sharing stories about our prior lives.

WEDNESDAY
Another relaxing day. (Are you seeing a pattern?). We did the laundry and some provision shopping, but we had plenty of time to relax around the pool and read. Hot dogs and beans for dinner. One of my faves!
