ELEUTHERA, BAHAMAS

 We have spent years exploring the various islands and cays of the Exumas and we loved every minute.  Eleuthera is one long, large island. This is more developed with multiple towns, shops and roads etc. The blues of these waters are a different shade and just beautiful.  We are exploring here before we journey to the Abacos. 

Eleuthera is Greek for Freedom.  English explorers/Adventurers settled here to have freedom to practice their faiths. There are many churches here in Eleuthera.  We are anchored at Governor's Harbour and one of the oldest buildings on the island is St. Patrick's  Anglican Church. The building started in 1848! It is still a place of worship here.



We see amazing homes here, many Airbnb along these beautiful shorelines. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. We had a lunch out at a local favourite The Buccaneers, Paul was a hungry man!


The Buccaneer Burger! Mmmm.


We love the scenic dinghy rides we take.
