Getting to the Abacos- pictures

So, of course I loaded these pictures out of order again!!! So you really need to start at the bottom and work your way up!!





Hans and his guitar. We'll miss Whisper so much! Keep in touch.

The Brown family at the bonfire with Whisper.


Our bonfire with Whisper. Hans brought his guitar so we had a sing along jam session again. We had a great time but it was very sad at bedtime as we knew they were off in the morning.


The gang from Staniel Cay at the pool. Starting with Matthew, then Rob, then Jen from "Scallywag", then Julie from Satisfaction III holding Dillan, then Nancy from Kismet.



Whisper and Snowday at anchor together again!!!



Kristen and Hans with Matthew, exploring the ocean side of the island. Yes we're trespassing past some American's boarded up vacation house!! Don't tell.



Finally we found Whisper again!!! Kristen had a dream of meeting somewhere on a deserted beach with Pina Coladas!! Well, we found the deserted beach and had a great bonfire but no cold drinks!! Oh well.




Rob with some of his catch- a Nassua Grouper and Rock Lobster.



This is Abbey holding the Queen Trigger fish from the haul at Ruddercut. The meat was really heavy and tastey although I still like Grouper better.




Snowday at anchor in Rudder Cut area. The view is from the ruins of an estate at the top of the hill. Very pretty here and isolated. Ruddercut was certainly a nice stop.



This is at Staniel Cay Marina so it is out of order, we went there after Rudder cut and Black Point. This is me in my wetsuit when I just got back from spearfishing with Shawn from "Manana". We didn't catch anything but we did see some really beautiful reef and sea turtles!!



Here we are at the beach at Emerald bay marina area. I can't get over how tall Matthew is getting. Rob's hair is practically blonde and long now and we are all very tan.



This is "Grace" with Meagan, Brett, Finn and Teague. They were great to meet, she is also a veterinarian and wanted to go cruising. They continued on south and are now in the Dominican Republic as we speak!! Good for them, I hope they do well. They met up with "Meggie" and are traveling together.



One of the days at Emerald Bay marina- all the families were invited onto Satisfaction III for birthday celebrations. It was lots of fun, we met lots of great friends there. In the picture you can see Rob in the left corner, then Carole from Milano Mist, Kerry from Satisfaction III, then Meagan from Grace. We had a great time, Spoony- a really cool catamaran that we got to tour, owners Mark and Jen, was also at the gathering. The kids had a fun time and later we even had fire works as well.





This picture is really out of order. This is when Chris and Rob went spearfishing and look at the haul they came back with!! A schoolmaster, grouper, the bottom is a Queen Trigger fish- very good meat and tonnes of lobster!! We had a feast for 2 days.
