The Forgotten Resort

We spent the morning sailing and motoring from Man of war Cay to Treasure Cay.When we arrived at the  harbor, I wanted to turn around and leave. It was completely bulkheaded with ugly american houses and condos around it. A sign at the entrance to the harbor says you must register, and when we went into the marina to let them know we dropped anchor there, it was 10.00 to anchor. But with that we got the run of the resort, with free internet (on the boat!!!!), showers, pool, and a beach. Well we ended up staying 3 nights. The beach was spectacular. We'd swim, walk on the beach then get to shower off. The place was almost deserted. No lights on in the condos at night, very few people around. These beach pictures were taken mid morning on a perfect Saturday. Later in the day I saw 2 people on the beach and a couple of ladies at the pool. Happy hour  had 3 or 4 people in the poolside bar. We had the run of the place. The sad story is, we ran into these kind of places often thru out the Bahamas. Unlike alot of them, Treasure Cay was still fully staffed with bar and restaurant open.

We are both feeling like our trip is almost over. Boats that we have met along the way have all headed back, and there are not that many islands left to explore in the Abacos, as we head west. Supposedly  only one or two of them even have wifi, so this blog may suffer.
