Day 52- Little Harbour and Pete’s Pub
Tomorrow is Pete’s Birthday so there will be celebrations here. FYI, when you are in Little Harbour, Pete (and his pub) are sort of the center of the universe.
Here’s what the cruising guide says:
Little Harbour is a beautiful, small, fully-protected anchorage. Randolph and Margot Johnston made Little Harbour their home during the middle 1950s, and founded an art colony there. Randolph, who died in late 1992, was an internationally known artist renowned for his lost wax casting in bronze, and his wife Margot worked with ceramics. Their son Pete now runs Pete’s Pub and Gallery, and makes life size marine bronzes and jewelry inspired by local motifs. The gallery is open seven days a week from about 11:00 to about 4:00. Foundry tours are available for a nominal fee. Pete’s Pub is an open air bar on the beach. It serves hot dogs and hamburgers, fish, ribs, chicken, lobster and bouillabaisse. It is open seven days a week beginning at 11:00 am, serving lunch from noon to 4:00 pm, and dinner from 6:00 to 9:00 with reservations (except Mondays). No other shopping or services are available.
The walk to the lighthouse and the ocean side is well worth it, and the caves on the west side of the harbour in which the Johnstons lived when the first came to Little Harbour, are interesting. –Steve Dodge, The Cruising Guide to Abaco Bahamas 2009

Who knows what these things are? Each about 6 inches long--no movement--just sat in this little tidal pool.

Don't know what those things are. Maybe you should check with a marine biologist somewhere. They kind of remind me of trilobites.

By the way, if you get good, fast, free wi-fi someplace, you definitely want to check out ABC.com for the new LOST episodes. It started last night and was awesome!!!

Pretty sure that little critter is called a "Chitin" or some spelling like that - it has been a long time since the Duke Marine lab.
ReplyDeleteJohn's aunt Fran--middle school science teacher-says they are chitons. And, marine biologist daughter Karen affirms the chiton identification.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! Who needs books when you have smart friends?
