Fish Fry Wednesday at the Outrigger

One has to go to the local fish fry at least once when they're here. Getting your dinner is usually a long wait. You stand in line on one side and then you have to walk all the way around to the other side where they fill your plate and tell you your $8 fish is now considerably more. They claim it's because it's so big, but I often wonder if it has anything to do with being a tourist.
Gerry is in the middle of this trying to
buy conch fritters, which is in the
middle of the other 2 lines.




The Outrigger was open the next night as well for the Grand Bahama Defence Force Marching Band. They installed 3 huge lights on the lamp posts and a small crowd watched them marching 300 feet in one direction, turning, and marching back. Was on a slight grade and we noticed they marched quicker down hill. They were actually quite good, thoroughly enjoyed it. A lot of work for such a short event (special lighting, special busses), don't know why they did it here, or why they did it at all.
