Governor’s Harbour, At Last

We finally visited Governor’s Harbour, Eleuthera. The third time was the charm for us. During our last attempt two years ago we worked for over an hour trying to get our anchor to set, giving up as the sun was setting. We moved on to another anchorage seven miles away and anchored in the dark. This time we took the advice of our friend Jean, from Desiderata II, who suggested another location and we succeeded on our first try. Our trip here from Rainbow Cay was more sporty than the what we had yesterday. We had more wind and we were sailing a higher angle, so the boat was heeling more. We put a reef in the mainsail and that helped quite a bit. We are so delighted how easy it is to reef our furling mainsail. Not only is it easy but the sail holds it shape so much better than it did before.

Governor’s Harbour was definitely worth seeing. It is a pretty town with a lot of adorable houses. It appears there is an active vacation rental market here. After walking around to see the town we stopped to eat at Da Perk. The food was fantastic and we even had a couple of visitors stop by.
