Pete’s Pub and Art Gallery

3/8 - We woke up this morning to increased winds and patted ourselves on the back for having made the crossing yesterday. Here on the leeward side of Lynyard Cay we were well protected and had a peaceful night.

Around noon we all dinghied the 2 miles to Pete’s Pub in Little Harbor. There is only 3.5 feet at the entrance to the harbor, so boats that want to grab a mooring or anchor in the bay must enter at high tide. We decided we were fine anchored at Lynyard and so came by dinghy to explore Little Harbor. This island is home to the Johnston family. The sculptor Randolph Johnston and his wife Margot came to the island in the 1950’s where they built homes and an art studio. When Randolph died in 1992 his son, Pete, took over the gallery and also opened Pete’s Pub. The pub is an open air bar that serves burgers, fish, chicken, etc. and they have a specialty drink called the Blaster. We explored the island, had lunch and, perhaps, a blaster or two too many. We dinghied back to the boat in 4-5 foot seas. The dinghy did fine, but it took the occupants a while to recover (perhaps from the blasters??)

We had a light dinner and turned in very early.
