Bahamas - April 2013

When we returned to Green Turtle Cay in April we were accompanied by our friends, Horace and Patty and Christie’s brother, Jacob. We spent the next 10 days continuing our exploration of the Abacos.

At Spanish Cay we watched this little fellow cruise the marina in search of scraps.

As usual, the water was as clear as air. Look at this beautiful guy in the shallows.

It was too rough to dive but the shallows had a few interesting fish and some coral.

And of course, we didn’t want to miss an opportunity to introduce our guests to the hogs on No Name Cay. They get aggressive when you run out of food, as Horace discovered!

Jacob learned from Horace’s experience and stood down his hog.

The Abacos are flat but we managed to find this overlook with Galadriel anchored in the distance. It was maybe 30 feet above sea level.

The white beaches are ubiquitous. (that means common dufus)

Since it was off season, we mostly had the islands to ourselves. The Marsh Harbor anchorage was an exception. Finding your boat after a night of fun can be problematic. Luckily, we have a strobe at the masthead, which we can track for miles and kept us from boarding someone else’s boat.

The weather mostly cooperated and Christie and Jacob had plenty of time to catch up on the fantail. It was windy almost every day which limited the diving and snorkeling.

Occasionally a squall would pass through

But when it was gone, we’d pop back up in the cockpit for a round of margaritas.
