At Morgan's Bluff on Andros the mail boat comes on Wednesday evenings, and unloads and loads up on Thursdays. It brings all kinds of things, including a car bought for parts, various goods and the mail. It leaves loaded with a similar variety of things, including produce bound for Nassau.
There is a creek that runs beside the road into Nicholls Town. We saw ducks on it, and a variety of plants grew around it; on the other side of the road it looked marshy and flat.
Twice a week, the Sea Link connects Morgan's Bluff with Nassau, carrying passengers, vehicles and some cargo. She backs into the small harbour to unload, then heads back out a couple of hours later.
The small container ships that use the Morgan's Bluff Harbour come in bow first, and spin around on their own length inside the harbour before they leave. This is the somewhat intimidating view we had of them as they turned around.
Having turned around, they pick up speed through the narrow channel as they head out toward their next destination.
Close to the Marina in Fresh Creek this path winds from one small beach to a larger one.
The marina in Fresh Creek is named for this lighthouse which stands guard at the entrance to the creek.
In front of the lighthouse are these cannons, standing guard over the narrow entrance to the creek, probably a relic of the times when the Bahamas were much fought over.
This is part of the shore off Fresh Creek, where rocks and reefs are as much a part of the shoreline as the beautiful white sand of the beaches.
Houses in the Bahamas tend to be solidly constructed and colorful. Bright blue and yellow are popular, and the schools usually seem to be yellow with green doors. This pink house looks out to the reefs from beside Fresh Creek, Andros.
The Androsia store is beside the factory where they create beautiful batiked fabrics in rich colours. The factory is small and the processes are human-driven; the only machinery we saw were the sewing machines on which clothes created from the fabrics dyed here are stitched. Visitors are welcome to see the factory and watch how the batik is created, and purchase clothing or fabric from the store.
