Abacos - BAHAMAS

Greetings once again, but this time from the Bahamas!  My apologies for the LONG delay in blogging, but the days/weeks have been a bit of a blur.  I went back to VA for a couple weeks in February, then returned to meet Mark in West Palm Beach, FL on March 8.  A couple days to prepare (grocery shop!), and we were off to the Bahamas.  Our friend, Chris, came along for the fun ride over and got to stay and enjoy the island life for a little while.  It was great having him onboard!

The WiFi availability has been extremely limited and not strong/reliable most of the time, so it's been a challenge to try to upload pictures.  But I decided to tough through it and at least get some pictures shared with y'all!  We've been making our rounds anchoring amidst many of the Abacos Islands (northernmost Bahamas):  so far, we've visited Great Sale Cay, Green Turtle Cay, Abacos Cay and Marsh Harbor, Great Guana Cay, Little Harbor, Sandy Cay, and some other smaller cays.  The weather has been good, for the most part, with occasional rainy and/or windy days when we hunker down at anchor.  

Hope you enjoy the pics!!!

Beaches are gorgeous, but shells are more challenging to find!
