Tahiti Beach

Sailed around the east of Great Abaco island into pelican harbor and Lubbers channel. Great and beautiful sail with blue skies ahead, but looking behind us we saw a huge and nasty black cloud and rain over the land with the more northern cays all but obscured with fog or rain or both. For a while we were able to run the edge of this area and it was kindof fun seeing the bad weather so close and still sailing along in lovely weather. Hopetown sailing races were sailing and there were Marshall 18 catboats in the race , very pretty as always. Eventually though, all of us were caught in the rain. Soaking and vehement rain. We gave up on our destination and threw out a hook near Tahiti beach. It is a wonderful destination all by itself. Ducked into the cabin to wait for the rain to stop. That didn't happen until late afternoon so we decided to stay put. CrackerP's bar was about a mile across the bay. Dinghyed over . They have a legendary full moon party but it was canceled no reason. Still a fun time. Cracker P's is named for a man who came to Abaco from Georgia in the late 1800's. He reportedly shot the sheriff in his Georgia home and lived in Lubbers Quarters off Abaco in a bit of seclusion maybe as an escape. It seems he was a colorful character and a bit of a recluse. His reputation was as an accurate man with a gun. The bar has a couple of signature drinks - shotgun and a bloody sheriff. This is from memory after trying them so it is only more - or less- accurate.
