Man of War Cay



 It's Sojer Day on Man Of War Cay, a day to celebrate the boat building heritage of this island. 
 Below are pictures of places, activities, boats old and new on display.
Uncle Willie built boats behind his house.  This hull had been recently damaged by hurricanes.

Boats on display:
The Tribute - a wooden boat open for tours

Check out the boom on the Abaco Rage, a Bahamian racing yacht

These wooden Man O War dinghies continue to be built by craftsmen.  

The hull of a new Albury Brothers boat- 23 ' fibreglass

A marine railroad to haul out boats needing repair
Albury's Sail Shop is now sells all shapes and sizes of canvas bags.


One of the roads to the beaches on the Atlantic side of the island.



Sea glass can be found in certain places along the beach.  You look for pieces that have been worn into smooth and interesting shapes by the waves tumbling them around the rocky outcrops.


Sunset .... you know what time it is!
