West End, the town

We decided we'll stay at Old Bahama Bay Marina until the front moves through, so we got a little work and clean-up done on the boat this morning, then rode our bikes into West End this afternoon.  There wasn't a whole lot happening in West End, but people were very friendly.

Quiet morning at the marina (view from our stern)

Despite being a VERY small town, there are five churches in West End.  The prettiest was St. Mary Magdalene.

I love their mailbox!

Originally built in 1893.  Rebuilt in 1970.

Poochie was here.

Then we found Barry at the old (almost abandoned) Star Hotel, Grand Bahama Island's oldest hotel.  He made a very delicious banana pineapple daiquiri with Bahamian rums.  Tasty and cool on a warm afternoon!

Fresh ingredients

Looking forward to our frozen refreshment!

Bahamian rums

Mix the two together and, voila!

They are looking for interested parties to invest in the rehabilitation of the old hotel.
