Sailing the Great Abaco Islands, June 4-10, 2014

Would you believe that we have never sailed in the Bahamas?  
So we got a Beneteau 37 at Marsh Harbour and also a "tide chart" because you need a "tide chart" here in this beautiful water or you're subject to run aground!


You expect the traditional "island color" and style here at an anchorage at Great Guana Cay.




Anchored a day hook at Fowl Cay Reef Preserve for some snorkeling and cold drinks.


Found some fresh made Italian sausage in the small hamlet of Hope Town on Elbow Cay.  This called for a special spaghetti dinner onboard with wine and Cuban cigars.


If you do this behind other boats in the harbour, you may get invited aboard for rum drinks!
This picture was taken by our new friends, Dee & Jennifer Peppers, who we met at the Miami Airport because we were all looking at nautical charts.


What could be said to describe the Sunday Pig Roast at Nippers at Settlement Harbour?   Melissa would not allow me to post some of the pictures that I took on-the-sly.  To view these pictures, you really need to "double-click".


The yacht on a mooring ball behind us at Hope Town shows the lighthouse in the background.  The Bahamas is a place of great color.
