Dock at West End, Bahamas

Our friends, Pam and Jim from Silver Boots met us in West End.  They had just made the crossing to the Bahamas and they will be in the Abaco for about a month and a half.  They were kind enough last year to let us tag along to the Exumas with them.

Great Sale Cay is in the middle of no where, therefore, no light polution.  It was a spectacular star lite night!

Anchorage Green Turtle Cay, White Sound

Black Sound side of Green Turtle

Looking from White Sound Harbour out the inlet

Green Turtle Cay Harbour, nice protected anchorage

After going through Whale Passage we could look across to Treasure Cay on the beach side.

"Don't Rock", shallow draft boats can go through these waters without having to go through Whale Cay Passage and out into the ocean.  When the tide is going out and rollers are coming in from the ocean it can be impassable.

Leaving Treasure Cay this morning.  We spent almost a week here--great anchorage

Treasure Cay Marina

Time to change the zincs.  The zincs on the shafts had vanished.  This is what's left of the other zincs!  Heavy winds were predicted so we decided to go to the marina.  It was a non-event here but Freeport, Bahamas had a tornado.

Still in Treasure Cay

Our rental car

The town of Rocky Point--south of Marsh Harbour and Little Harbour at the southerm most end of the Abacos.  Not much there!

We rented a car to take Laura to the airport.  We wanted to see what else was around.

And she's up and away!

Our days in the Abaco are numbered with Laura leaving.

Marsh Harbour International Airport - kinda small!

Laura's last lunch at Mangoes before getting on the plane

Junkanoo costumes for their Bahamian celebrations

Treasure Cay

Nice lunch after a 9 holes of golf for the guys and a relaxing day on the beach with our firends from Mumford Cove

Treasure Cay

Ed thought the lights in the bar area looked interesting at night!

It finally stopped raining and we could get together with our Mumford Cove friends, Peter and Beth, at their rental house on Treasure Cay

Just a relaxing rainy day in the harbour
