| QUEST AT LIGHTHOUSE MARINA |
After breakfast at the Lighthouse Marina’s restaurant and a quick load of laundry we set out afoot to explore Coakley Town on the other side of
Fresh Creek Bridge. We were able to buy some boxed milk at Gator’s, found a loaf of homemade bread at another little stop and treated ourselves to some ice cream at Dean’s Confectionery.

We had seen a shell of a church as we sailed into the harbor and thought it to be a very old relic from the past. As we sought to find it, one gentleman that stopped to talk to us on the bridge said it had been used when he was here a year ago but burned during his absence. It must have been a lovely sight perched right at the water’s edge. The heat had been so intense that the window glass was charred. The cross still stands atop the remains.

While Dick had his 4:00 business conference call we headed back to the Androsia batik factory for a tour. Unfortunately we were a little late so will add that to tomorrow morning adventures. While out we placed our dinner order at nearby Christina’s Restaurant where would dine for the evening. It was fried chicken and cracked conch that we hungered for and our feast was ready for us when we arrived at the appointed time of 7:00. This is really a sleepy island and we dug into our meals of great local food while dining alone in this nice little spot that Sissy had recommended. Another successful day on the islands concluded!!
