Governor's Harbor ....


 
 
After several delightful days in Rock Sound we decided to move on to Governors Harbor.   Aptly named as it was the original capitol of the Bahamas.  Today the community boasts of its pink sand beaches on the Atlantic shore.  Dave and I walked to the Atlantic side of the island and found the former Club Med property.  While the resort is now long gone having suffered damage during a hurricane many years ago, the beach remains beautiful and the grounds interesting as the foundations and swimming pool for the old resort remains. 
 
Beyond the pink beaches it was great to see many of the homes being restored in the area.  It is unusual as Governors Harbor has many of the concrete homes that we've seen throughout the Bahamas but they also have many old wooden homes as well.  It was many of these wooden structures that we saw being renovated.

PS - Of course, since we broke down and bought fish there was only one thing that would happen.  Yep - we finally caught a fish.  A nice size black grouper - yum!
