What this video covers
Epiphany anchors in Hatchet Bay Harbor at Alicetown, Central Eleuthera, Bahamas — a harbor the crew calls the most protected in the Bahamas, with an entrance only 80 feet wide to the west and 360-degree protection in all other directions.0:27 The anchorage has no marina but offers a dinghy dock at Farmington's Boater Haven, a harborside convenience store and bar-grill with live music on weekends.0:44 The dinghy dock is a fixed structure with a ladder; getting on and off at low tide is tricky.1:10 Ashore, the Five Star Grocery and General Store — owner Tommy — stocks dried goods, canned goods, refrigerated produce, dairy, eggs, and what the crew calls the best spice selection seen in the Bahamas.5:13 Dinner at the Beach Pot includes snapper fingers, macaroni and cheese, beans and rice, and barbecued pork chop; the menu is updated daily on a blackboard.2:52 A town liquor store sits a short walk from the dock.1:43 A car-and-passenger ferry serves the harbor; on the return dinghy trip, the ferry's spotlight illuminates the crew — a reminder to carry a solar light on the dinghy stern for visibility at night.8:03
