Two days into the passage from the Abacos, we decided to make an unplanned stop in San Salvador. The winds were not cooperating so we motored more than we liked. So we decided to make a fuel stop and are we ever glad. Steve had surfed here over 25 years ago. San Salvador is one of the eastern islands in the Bahamas. Supposedly, this is where Christopher Columbus first made landfall in the New World in 1492. The island is about 12 miles long by 6 miles wide. The water is absolutely beautiful here, some of the clearest we have ever seen, so we got some snorkling in. And of course we checked out the local restaurants. The Riding Rock Inn has a bar called the Driftwood which serves a drink called the Hurricane Lili since that hurricane formed here in 2003. We stayed for just a couple of days but really had a great time.
