McLean's Town

It was a really late night last night and I have been dragging all day today. The ship has been busy both ways and it is going to be another late night tonight. A few of the staff headed out on the island this afternoon, but I stayed behind because it was so busy. They all headed out west to McLean’s Town. While they were out there they got chatting to one of the locals that was very proud share a little bit of history. Apparently McLean’s Town gets its name from a first grade school teacher. When he asked the children where they were from each replied with a different answer - McLean's Town, Carrion Crow Harbour, Self Town, Carey Cut, Pinder Town, Rocky Creek, Thomas Town, Crabbing Bay. They'd call it whatever they had a mind to call it. So the teacher, William Bethel, just put down McLean's Town for all of them and the whole area got to be known as McLean's Town. There are lots of great areas to visit on Grand Bahama away from the main tourist areas that usually only the curious ever get to savor and appreciate. I am so happy that the staff takes the time to go out and see the different areas of the island and don’t just stick to the main tourist areas.
