It seems unbelievable that it's only been 4 weeks since we got to the Bahamas. It's been an easy and relaxing month. The kids went to school every day for 5 1/2 hours. And they loved it. They also attended the local church activities, which they also enjoyed very much. Again, we met a bunch of wonderful people.
The month that we paid to be moored here is up and therefore we're getting ready to leave. The boat is getting tidied up. We will get the fuel and water tanks filled up (this is the first time we will be paying for water). Provisions were bought last weekend in Marsh Harbour (a city on Great Abaco Island, in front of Man-O-War, that has the biggest grocery store in The Bahamas). Goodbyes are already being said...
As always, departing from a place where we stayed for a lengthy period of time, fills us with mixed feelings. Camila is sad to leave the school and her friends behind. But it's nice to know the doors will be open for us, should we choose to come back to Man-O-War in the future. The kids behaved so well that we were told they will be welcome to the school any time. Something that makes us tremendously proud of them.
New places and adventures await us. After a quick stop in Marsh Harbour next week, we'll visit Hope Town, where we'll hopefully meet up again with some friends we made on the ICW months ago. After that it's the Exhumas, with a few stops before that. We keep hearing that the water in the Exhumas is even better than here, something we find hard to believe now.
But for now, it's just a farewell to Man-O-War. Hope to come back here some time soon.

We will miss you all here on MOW but know that you will have a fantastic time in Exuma. Hope you come back this way again. Chana
ReplyDeleteWe'll be back for sure! The month we spent in Man-O-War was a great experience for all 4 of us, and we're looking forward to going back.
