Abacos

We have made it to the Abacos.  Stan and family flew home from Staniel Cay in the Exumas, and we took advantage of a weather window and beat it to the Abacos.  It is about a 60 mile trek in the Atlantic, but no issues.  We came in at Little Harbor, which is home to the famous Pete’s Pub, beach bar and art gallery.  Last time we were here Alexis bought a bronze turtle statue, but things have changed.  There is a road from Marsh Harbor here now, and Pete has hit it big.  Things were 25k and up, so we settled for a burger and Gombay Smash.  The entrance to Little Harbor has a sand bar that makes it impassible at low tide.  We watched a 65’ Viking ground trying to come in, which caused some evening excitement!  We are now at Treasure Cay Marina which has a real grocery, so we are provisioning and waiting for Stanwood and Janet to arrive.  It has been lonely without the grandkids!  The Abacos are downright urbane compared to the Exumas.  Boats everywhere, cars and it is pizza and karaoke night at the bar tonight.  We will see……

Little Harbor is a turtle hangout. 

We are smuggling this sea fan for Megan....



Showoff!


The Sea of Abaco.

There are rental boats everywhere in the Abacos.  Some know what they are doing, others not so much.

Note the headset-we use them for docking, which greatly reduces the screaming.
