Fox Town
We sailed from Manjack Cay to Foxtown and anchored for the night. Foxtown is on the south side of Great Abaco and is about half way to Great Sale Cay where we planned to stage for crossing back the the US. We had never been there before but a couple people had mentioned it to us as an interesting stop and an easy place to top off with diesel for the crossing.
It is a pretty little town but not really much there. We bought fuel for the boat and stopped in the restaurant for lunch then walked from one end of town to the other all in about a half hour. Like most of the small settlements we’ve visited, the people were really friendly. We passed a bunch of kids that had just gotten off the school bus and they all said hello and waved and smiled.
Conch divers (like the waterman on the Chesapeake)
Town from the water as we came in by dinghy.
A house built out over the water.
A local waterman’s work boat.
The local church. One of the nicest buildings in town!
The fuel station is actually on the road a little ways front he dock. Landing at the fuel dock.
Tiny little dinghy dock. Had to climb up to the landing.
The momma dog wasn’t interested in us at all but her puppy was curious but not brave enough to come to me.
Daniel Parker was the gas station attendant. He is 78 years old and was listening to a Christian radio station. He pointed out into the anchorage and said…that you? We had a great conversation with him about his “50-some” grandkids!
He quieted the sea with His power
