I really expected to be sailing in the Bahamas right now as I got my
28' sailboat there back in May and she has been out of the water in a
yard since then. There is little to keep me from going. However,
other things keep interfering, caving has kept me busy as has canoeing
but after getting the boat there I sorta feel, " dun that" and am not
ready to jump into it again yet. Work has actually been too much fun
to leave for any length of time too (building an x-ray spectrometer
specifically for "rare earths" google "rare earths" for why).
So, wife wants to do a short sailing trip just after Christmas. maybe
just go from Running Mon Marina to Peterson Cay marine park, anchor
and snorkel and then to Port Lucaya and then back over to West End.
Leave her and the kids and then do the Abacos.

I'll see what I can do John. Actually I take quite a few but getting
them sorted out, organized and uploaded is more of a challenge.

For Mr Frogwatch, the Abacos are well worth doing. I'll try to find
some of our old pictures and post a link to them.

Beautiful. The "Old Man and the Sea" is especially nice. Was that a purchase, or
were you taking pictures in the shop?

It was in the shop/gallery at Pete's Pub, Little Harbor on Great Abaco
Island, quite an eclectic place with an interesting story.

The original Johnston family lived in a nearby cave for some time
while building their home, art studio and brass foundry.

Beautiful. I assume it's a gallery only, as I didn't see any prices.

He posted thirty-three. From those you can easily find ten you really like.
Great pics.
