From Rum Cay we sailed to San Salvadore, the famous "Tierra, Tierra" from one of Columbus' crewmen who first saw land and was paid a bonus for doing so. In fact the picture in the Rum Cay post just before this post is actually a picture of the coast line of San Salvadore. I mistakenly posted it in the Rum Cay section. So that is what Columbus saw after his first trek across the Atlantic.
The church of San Salvadore.
The Columbus and Lucyan Indian Museum. Unfortunantly it was closed when we were there and had been closed for some time with no hint of when , if ever, it will be open again.
This is the Bahamain flag up on the spreader while under sail om Moondance.
It was nostalgic to be in San Salvadore but qiute dissapointing at the same time. A very laid back place as well as beautiful but I wish we could have seen more about the history of the island. We left after a day and a half. Columbus only stayed a couple of days also. On to Provo.
