Outtakes from Harbor Island, part I

A few weeks ago, my BF, a Nassau native, and I, had the chance to visit Harbor Island, a cay off of Eleuthera, one of the many islands of the Bahamas. A sleepy paradise stretching 3 miles long by half a mile wide and populated by less than 2,000 locals, it was truly a respite from the hustle of NYC.

The tiny plane that took us the 15 minute ride from Nassau to Eleuthera
The boat from mainland Eleuthera to Harbor Island

Patterns of foam in the boat's wake
Fresh conch salad and a mixed drink of lemonade, whiskey, and a splash of fruit punch
A glimpse of the ocean over someone's yard
A local church
A local graveyard
Sun setting over the dock
Harbor Island's main street - note the golf carts, the standard mode of transportation
Magical light on the perfect little house
Finally, the sun slips away, leaving me to wonder if it was all a dream...
