Pekabu and Andiamo left our marina and met Brunelle out in the channel to travel south to Lynyard Cay to anchor and dinghy into Pete’s Pub for the afternoon. It was a beautifully calm and sunny day - about 80 degrees. Once anchored, we had a fast lunch and we took the dinghy in about two miles to Little Harbour. We decided not to anchor in there due to the entrance being only four feet deep.
Little Harbour was noted for its circle-shaped cay with a white sand beach running along most of its waterfront. Here you could visit Pete Johnston’s Foundry, the only bronze foundry in the Bahamas. The foundry was closed for the day but since we were there we did enjoy looking at the shop next door with the many different bronze statues for sale.

Notice the Decorated ceiling!
Just next door to the bronze foundry was Pete’s Pub and Gallery whose décor evokes memories of Gilligan’s Island. By this time we all needed a drink. They were having a wild boar and lamb barbecue and we decided to try the barbecue (we ordered one lamb and one wild boar) and we had a great time hanging out in an open aired wooden hut, complete with a huge picnic table, decorated with old tee shirts from previous visitors. Sorry to say, we did not leave one but made a mental note for our next visit some day. From the pub, it was just a very short walk to the ocean side of the island where the scenery was just beautiful. Martha and Pegg found many fascinating coral shells and Kathy found many unique things of which to take pictures. We took the dinghy back to the boats, where the waves were building since they were coming in from the ocean. We enjoyed a peaceful evening under the stars.
