LONG
ISLAND :: |

|
 |
The conical
white limestone turrets of St. Peter's Catholic Church may rise like the
spires of a Greek chapel in the Dodecanese islands. The inland salt ponds
resting loch-like, reflecting the hills of natural brush may remind you
of the Scottish moors. But the balmy breezes that beckon you from your
bed in the morning, the turquoise waters gleaming and ruffled like the
gem-crusted skirts of a genteel lady, the contrasting deep sapphire and
plum shades streaking the Atlantic all the way to the horizon, are uniquely
the Bahamas.
Add to these the gracefull hills, home of many happily wobbling birds,
and the well-protected natural harbor, providing the comfortable anchorage
for the ever present yachts wending their way down the Bahamas chain,
and you have the quiet natural ingredients of Clarence Town, Long Island.
