This morning we finally were able to listen to the cruisers' net on VHF channel 18. It is a brief report of weather and local news given by a woman who lives in a house overlooking the harbor and goes by the call sign, Fairhaven. Up until yesterday we forgot about the net until it was too late. Yesterday we tuned in at 8:30 just as it was ending. She apparently moved the time up to 8:15 a while ago. I guess she provides information for anyone new (like where to dump your trash) when she sees a new boat in the harbor. This morning she said she didn't see any new boats.
We listened to other cruisers' nets in the Abacos and George Town. They can be quite useful.
After listening to the net we went ashore to pick up a few things at Hillside Food Supply. We returned to Breeze On for lunch and then went back to shore for a walk on the beach on the Atlantic side of the island. It was about a mile from one side of the island to the other. The water was clear and beautiful. The sand was pink. We didn't see another person on the beach.
