A Quick Visit to Little Harbour

 There are few places like Little Harbour.

 Once you get down to the south end of the Sea of Abaco, you enter a small harbour then grab a mooring ball, or rather a mooring tire....



 and dinghy over to Pete's Pub.



It's an open air setting and there are lots of places to sit and relax.



Lots of people leave a signed T-shirt
Hey, don't we know them?

Easter dinner was a delicious blackened mahi sandwich with Bahamian peas and rice and pineapple coleslaw,
and the house drink- the Blaster!!



There were a dozen sailboats on the horizon when we walked across to the beach look-out.  We were
told the boats were coming north from Eleuthera and would enter the Sea of Abaco through cuts just north Little Harbour. 

Artist/sculptor Randolph Johnston, his wife Margot moved here from New York City in the ‘50s.  Randolph was internationally known for his bronze castings, and  intended to found an art colony  in the Abacos. Their son, Pete, is also an artist and he now runs the pub and an art gallery.  In addition to sculptures of people and  marine life we saw jewellery, paintings, belt buckles and lots of photos, newspaper clippings and books about the life of Randolph Johnston, who was born in Canada, by the way.  

Not sure if this was the one, but when they first arrived, the family lived in a cave.
