Man-O-War Cay

(Friday March 18 - Dist: 21.9 mi; Avg Speed: 5.6 mph; TTT: 3:30 hrs)

 
Man-O-War Cay is different than all other places that we have visited.  The roads are paved but are only wide enough for two golf carts to pass.  All street signs are hand made and the sides of the roads are raked and very neat.  There are several churches and nothing is open on Sunday.  In fact, the marina did not even open so when we left we could not check out.  We left the shower room keys in an envelope and just left.  We did receive copies of our invoice two days later.

Man-O-War is a very tight community with most of the inhabitants having been born there and having spent all of their lives there.  Albury boats are made by hand here.  It is a small business but one sees many of their boats around the Sea of Abaco including all of the ferry boats.



We ran across an interesting looking park (which we heard may be a pet cemetery) that had huge fishing lures and painted conch shells hanging from the trees.  The sand was raked nicely and until the "A" Team arrived there was not a footprint to be seen.

I leave you with a few photos of Man-O-War Cay.
