Or if you want a rental in Man-O-War check out Waterways Rentals. http://www.waterwaysrentals.com/
They can help you with your boat and golf cart rentals also.
If you happen to be visiting MOW in the summer months, be sure to come out to the soft ball games. The Texaco Pirates is the home team of MOW. http://fastpitchwest.com/morningbrief/?p=1412

You may find yourself in a ‘skirmish’ pitting visitors against locals, or a kid’s tournament.

July 10th is our Independence Day celebration and this is a must to attend if you are in MOW.

Bring the kids out to a day filled with sack, egg in the spoon and swimming races. For the adults, there are conch breaking, wood sawing and nail hammering contests, tug of war and the most anticipated event of all- THE SLIPPERY POLE.

People from all over Abaco come out for this special celebration. Oh yea, and the firework display always has the kids jumping with excitement, especially the big kids.

Come on over and have a visit, and after you’ve basked in the sunshine, eaten your first bowl of conch salad and tried the conch fritters, socialised with the locals and explored our colorful reefs, I bet you’ll be hooked! – Mailin Sands
