Sunshine and calm winds made all the difference in the world. We explored the island on foot, dinghied from one end to the other and dinghied all the way to the Fowl Cays. We did not dare go out all the way to the mooring balls because it was very low tide and the only passage through the reef was through the inlet into the ocean which was rough or all the way to the other end, which would have meant at least two more miles. But we landed on the deserted cays, walked on the beach and saw hundreds of hermit crabs.
Today we are leaving Man o War. Pretty but a bit weird. The local population seem to be all members of the same family. All businesses belong to some Albury, Tom or Peter or Steven... This morning at 7 the ferry brought in Bahamian workers who leave the island at 4, none of them live on the island.
