Abacos 2015

In 2015 we did a repeat trip to Spanish/Green Turtle/Elbow.  Just our family this time, but we ran across some friends along the way.


The crossing was like a bathtub.. 

We brought some Paddle Boards this year to get out to the island at Bita Bay

After wondering if Oreo, the 3  legged dog, survived till 2015, we finally found him roaming the streets our last night there!


Time to relocate!


Catching some bait waiting for the storm to blow over..






We stopped at Nippers on our way to Elbow..


 John rocking the deep drop for some queen snapper!




Always a stop at Capt Jacks... every year since 2001

 Always need a stop at the "Four Seasons"/ Pelican Cays



Always have fresh coconut water!

When you catch small strawberries, sometime they turn into...


Abacos 2013

In 2013 the whole family crossed to the Bahamas on the boat.  We stopped at Spanish Cay for a couple nights before heading on to Green Turtle and Elbow.  Mimi and Pappy joined us on Green Turtle.

Abacos 2008


In 2008 we went back to Elbow with all three kids.  Mimi and Pappy joined us as well.  They taught the kids about shaking sargassam to see the small creatures that call it home.
