We spent 2 days on Man O' War Cay in the Abacos. This is one peaceful little island with a very industrious population. The waterfront is a hub of business activity, with several boat building enterprises, engine repair centers, sail lofts, grocery stores, ice cream parlors, lumber yards, bakery and hardware stores. Every property is tidy and well-maintained.
The people are very friendly and obviously very proud of their work. High quality production such as the Albury Brother boat builders and the Albury Sail Loft and Edwin Boat Builders are representative of their work. If you need it build, sewed, or fixed, then Man O War is the island in the Abacos to go to, because these people know how to get it done!
Here are some photos of Man O'War...

This Green Turtle is 2 years old and the ladies have raised her in the wild. |

ReplyDeleteAnother great commentary with beautiful photos! We were in Man O' War on Sunday and the town was closed up tight with the exception of hymns emanating from the church. Nice job capturing the spirit of a special spot. Thanks!
