We moved south from Hopetown to Little Harbor.
This is a remote community on the north shore of the Northwest Providence Channel. Randolph Johnston arrived here in 1951 and built his home and bronze lost wax foundry here. It really hasn't changed that much since then, except to add a few additional houses here and Pete's Pub! We anchored outside of the harbor because it is too shallow for JonNe' to enter.
So it was back to the dinghy for both boats. We arrived at Pete's Pub just in time to order dinner at the pig roast. We do enjoy these! First Nipper's, then here!
And of course there is never a shortage of our favorite drinks: Kahlik Beer for me and Vodka, water, and cranberry juice for Renne'!
The historical significance of this place is the foundry started by Randolph Johnston and carried on by his son, Peter. Both have been exceptionally talented artists:
Pouring the castings
Castings being cooled and stored
They talk about the white beaches, but to be honest with you, we didn't find much other than coral. It really didn't beckon us to stay very long.
On the morning of the 26th, we departed the Abacos headed south to Spanish Wells and Eleuthra. We will look forward to seeing if there is somewhere to have sundowners when we get there. So stand by. We won't be long!!
