Eleuthera is one long, large island. This is more developed with multiple towns, shops and roads etc. The blues of these waters are a different shade and just beautiful. We are exploring here before we journey to the Abacos. </span></p><p>Eleuthera is Greek for Freedom. English explorers/Adventurers settled here to have freedom to practice their faiths. There are many churches here in Eleuthera. We are anchored at Governor's Harbour and one of the oldest buildings on the island is St. Patrick's Anglican Church. The building started in 1848! It is still a place of worship here.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVexNwE6ZbQiupCWjr8M6LolWRMZnsHwjvEHw1_ufo2iJr8vrz_zG9vsKLd0YeYFhBPslojJoO2HaUw6dRU-W9I87VyUmWHRIjH6pUka5D5o6E_GLRqaTxAZduO3UMbHCOkzHmBUUi98n2tTtfSAJ8kmyB5VP3tbXDvrU2A1wuB5ZRsubkkkF4YMXFsvGV/s4032/20240316_144939.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVexNwE6ZbQiupCWjr8M6LolWRMZnsHwjvEHw1_ufo2iJr8vrz_zG9vsKLd0YeYFhBPslojJoO2HaUw6dRU-W9I87VyUmWHRIjH6pUka5D5o6E_GLRqaTxAZduO3UMbHCOkzHmBUUi98n2tTtfSAJ8kmyB5VP3tbXDvrU2A1wuB5ZRsubkkkF4YMXFsvGV/w480-h640/20240316_144939.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMbxXnO-dAPdz2RZuNgACL_cKRMLNQrVFAPDTUrgUyPiInp51-9x7f2k5QKT7_kZLR9XxruGLKVtjgT29NWGMc0hsFFaQK5Rqn_N2RJxUO-kjAFEr49pOmOreZK4LKeMVhQqgvpXrJqo_7vG74fiNbJcYcQv545OlKViGxsmDyilEsdk20wwS0R87nAVqq/s4032/20240316_145035.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMbxXnO-dAPdz2RZuNgACL_cKRMLNQrVFAPDTUrgUyPiInp51-9x7f2k5QKT7_kZLR9XxruGLKVtjgT29NWGMc0hsFFaQK5Rqn_N2RJxUO-kjAFEr49pOmOreZK4LKeMVhQqgvpXrJqo_7vG74fiNbJcYcQv545OlKViGxsmDyilEsdk20wwS0R87nAVqq/w480-h640/20240316_145035.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p>We see amazing homes here, many Airbnb along these beautiful shorelines.

It has shops, fuel, beautiful beaches, anchorages, rentals and a hub called Staniel Cay Yacht Club. This island is where we shop for produce, fuel if we need any, lunch out and see the nurse sharks feeding off of fish scraps. This is our eleventh time here so we have seen the many renovations, staff changes and the locals taking advantage of a nearby tourist attraction of the many pigs on the beach that come swimming out to a boat for scraps.

We crossed to Bimini from Key Biscayne. We spent a few nights in Bimini as the wind and waves prevented anyone from coming or going.

This was not an exception. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Never have we had to ever wear jackets or long sleeves here in Bimini. When we left the dock at 7 am a couple of days ago I had a fleece jacket on. Other visits we would have our doors closed to keep the AC air inside. This visit we had our doors closed and curtains open to let the sun shine in and warm the boat. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b>We left Key Biscayne at sunrise as this photo shows. </b></i></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEildgwZBRpA8z8gVItNHpiX_enZpnJ199DjVLn_a3le_ep4Iw0LHXJL_H0ghZs31jjWPSFB-BBL6ZxHOgQPNC8hGmJHo60IfFREkSZ55zHbiW4CWkI5kGoEu6EyxFzNaTYLtT2StDFaiTNpoCIh7yMDUZeKIgCzIgvehgIBSoNmEmvRlwRp71AHMNgETuIV/s4032/20240203_071221.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEildgwZBRpA8z8gVItNHpiX_enZpnJ199DjVLn_a3le_ep4Iw0LHXJL_H0ghZs31jjWPSFB-BBL6ZxHOgQPNC8hGmJHo60IfFREkSZ55zHbiW4CWkI5kGoEu6EyxFzNaTYLtT2StDFaiTNpoCIh7yMDUZeKIgCzIgvehgIBSoNmEmvRlwRp71AHMNgETuIV/w640-h480/20240203_071221.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp-EyyvCIzcLUxK-Me2_XhO1trbdvZKE_mzh0YcyRlnjl9Cug6P6Yz2lM-NoypudTrOnDJUdqmqvMtaeBJW7N6woqmiP8dYNfjHGwRkKH7qScL6EmntuE1LwMFdqf-ojlm0xdJkAbfcVfMNm7MCrmDgyBG9xRBRPgQ5H_LWG8JzAPWr0rgRJQQEExU9rtr/s2224/20240208_142404.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2224" data-original-width="1989" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp-EyyvCIzcLUxK-Me2_XhO1trbdvZKE_mzh0YcyRlnjl9Cug6P6Yz2lM-NoypudTrOnDJUdqmqvMtaeBJW7N6woqmiP8dYNfjHGwRkKH7qScL6EmntuE1LwMFdqf-ojlm0xdJkAbfcVfMNm7MCrmDgyBG9xRBRPgQ5H_LWG8JzAPWr0rgRJQQEExU9rtr/w572-h640/20240208_142404.jpg" width="572" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>I took a walk to Radio Beach here in Bimini and the jellyfish were abundant. </i></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>I have walked this beach many times and had never seen jellyfish here.</i></b></span></div><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw6uhi4BSXij5eZwmizPgI8p4Qk7jZdD2CMNf0LCDA1bUUijsfmFi3mVkLO632sBPRXdoNPQgrCXQG7DJF70Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>We captured footage of the Gulf Stream at Radio Beach while we were at the marina. </i></b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>We walked over the hill to see the high waves.

We tested it two weeks ago and it seemed fine. Time Out is full of extra parts and pieces. We never leave without an extra of everything including a brand new macerator. This was a trying time this morning replacing this item as Paul is very sensitive to smell and literally throws up. Needless to say, we don't need to clean up vomit <i>and </i>waste! Therefore I did major cleanups in the cavity where the macerator was to be installed. I went through a few doggie pee pads, lysol wipes, paper towels and plastic gloves. There are no pump outs for us to use in the Exumas. It is quite normal when off shore to dump your waste but a working macerator is necessary for this.</div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI25Sh9NINCbpnuHrUxgspPytfQK6TGnuFJpVgQ7Qkcu6P4AgrjHvqkg-XG1cgUgMTo1QCBjOkfZqiNZMhnz_gTv8n3rQ5WO1Xiv0y-L8lfOIwSRpHKUG38Ekpn3ewuTKxhcIP0ZHCTxBk9zCX6OXOyE3O6Vv_qJWbCzhBobfkyfYICbhvxYk8sU35HmTZ/s4032/20240202_140705.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI25Sh9NINCbpnuHrUxgspPytfQK6TGnuFJpVgQ7Qkcu6P4AgrjHvqkg-XG1cgUgMTo1QCBjOkfZqiNZMhnz_gTv8n3rQ5WO1Xiv0y-L8lfOIwSRpHKUG38Ekpn3ewuTKxhcIP0ZHCTxBk9zCX6OXOyE3O6Vv_qJWbCzhBobfkyfYICbhvxYk8sU35HmTZ/w640-h480/20240202_140705.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b>We had guests on board to enjoy the journey from our marina to Key Biscayne. </b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b>Miami has yachts like no other city we have travelled to.</b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dythzpw678PyvlPZNgw8P-L4M8CCueBXgDFumc4H9AEAgFSFsyCSVVLL3E7nwRPpK7L4YAJFxee1L84TREOsQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyG1VoZCA8Ccj3vujZxJ1crWDrlMmOrpozLJP-UvZfcgsbftNInTHioYPcsaml9b8qdxnFFnTwpDFUYsmy8jw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Paul and Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00052717018826341437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582602557297370041.post-13852064159364347052024-01-21T15:10:00.035-05:002024-03-17T15:35:17.942-04:00TIME LINE 2024 SEASON<p> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>The cruising season for us always starts in the Fall as we get Time Out ready to leave the dock for our th</i></b></span><b style="font-size: x-large;"><i>ree months in Bahamas.

So when the winds and waves are coming from the east, we want to be behind a big land mass (and vice versa). We are anchored at Lee Stocking Island in a little cay called William's Cay. There is a beautiful look out here that is very popular. This place is so popular that tour boats come in every day with 5-20 people on board to walk up there and get their lovely photos. We went up and captured some awesome scenic photos and video. They are special if the waves are high and crashing. </span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dy1JJeg3vgvZFggD2nMMb1_ihVkqKtDnlD98ijJkG-JIY_PBw6hrM0qeFM5z9VJgCrDpoaD-JD0rvPBNQTuig' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipP4WuJyFcfok0ETZo370DbYWPdSt0hg6dLfxsG_61Lrz9xuJFFya5Df-xO5Z-k_Ll3jcCXcEjLmOcA7hz1CmwCPTbus3Kl-KSTEZkIk2GPA7Z66NZOt_qMRiFQQ1bDuuFyJtw8w4bHGawEr6gGtRDz_Z96GFuY2Ej4MFd7WDTT8i0bbKdnS_aznkzrw/s4032/20230508_144121.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipP4WuJyFcfok0ETZo370DbYWPdSt0hg6dLfxsG_61Lrz9xuJFFya5Df-xO5Z-k_Ll3jcCXcEjLmOcA7hz1CmwCPTbus3Kl-KSTEZkIk2GPA7Z66NZOt_qMRiFQQ1bDuuFyJtw8w4bHGawEr6gGtRDz_Z96GFuY2Ej4MFd7WDTT8i0bbKdnS_aznkzrw/w480-h640/20230508_144121.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i>Time Out down in the anchorage and</i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i>our little dinghy just anchored near the beach</i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUjC3YuPBC_ZG5eiSOy6ANhxi8tszYYX7pcHCe34wxFKEnDPL4S9ai43A_2EOw9bCWy2CHjpdNRaYyDOZPoBWK6JkjPnrJgCvHBQ15pK-wih3pE21zi6xGAC1eYIMQcM2o1rfEKIyTDzPs-Ik8HlF3r3Ut1z2VdxAr2MvMPuYHSzluKqKgxJa-yZNMiA/s4032/20230508_143745.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUjC3YuPBC_ZG5eiSOy6ANhxi8tszYYX7pcHCe34wxFKEnDPL4S9ai43A_2EOw9bCWy2CHjpdNRaYyDOZPoBWK6JkjPnrJgCvHBQ15pK-wih3pE21zi6xGAC1eYIMQcM2o1rfEKIyTDzPs-Ik8HlF3r3Ut1z2VdxAr2MvMPuYHSzluKqKgxJa-yZNMiA/w480-h640/20230508_143745.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dydMqI3uT3t7xu7UCFBZ7qtIPZp9i5L01GPKp3BLRAUu66K0-ybEZZIUqVxYvJc4YLpvgX1yGkbh0eoISystA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Paul and Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00052717018826341437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582602557297370041.post-12910737430694876572023-05-04T13:34:00.010-04:002023-05-04T14:34:02.014-04:00A MAHI MAHI KIND OF DAY<p> <span style="font-size: medium;">Paul's birthday was awesome as we could go out in the deep blue waters and fish.

We all help each other out.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">You need to have extra parts for everything on board, especially the toilet parts.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">A boater has everything they need on board and if not on board then we don't need it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hang all the wet towels right away and if you are in salt water, must rinse your body with fresh water. Don't waste water though. One must buy it or make it. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Set your watch to Beach Time. We eat when we get hungry. Relax</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">No shoes, leave them behind. Flip Flops on land.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Boats are not considered an investment, but it is an investment in your health and happiness. You can't put a price on that. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Boats come in different sizes and boaters come from all socioeconomic backgrounds, we share the same backyards of the waters we boat in.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Mother Nature dictates when and where to travel for the day.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">An anchor is not permanent, if you don't like your neighbours, pull anchor and move. Be flexible.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Plans are like writing them in the sand at low tide. They change often.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Skinny Dip as much as you can.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Always bring extra sunglasses and sun screen.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Happiness comes in waves. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3b4q-kg32jZaiqonMT1clBd0rXe_6ei-oe0BdXnKCxuVweg3np0iDu8TLvQQF6tvqRF0-Ooli70GbgjGxuIB9IH06uTWZwt23sT-csTN-lI0b0kSurwPw2rEvipJBAnfx1J98mKlnFuaxhQaRrl2XQJRH_aFQBy0vQL9glXzikC8rFvfjl9nFBX87Xg/s3021/20230426_194945.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1940" data-original-width="3021" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3b4q-kg32jZaiqonMT1clBd0rXe_6ei-oe0BdXnKCxuVweg3np0iDu8TLvQQF6tvqRF0-Ooli70GbgjGxuIB9IH06uTWZwt23sT-csTN-lI0b0kSurwPw2rEvipJBAnfx1J98mKlnFuaxhQaRrl2XQJRH_aFQBy0vQL9glXzikC8rFvfjl9nFBX87Xg/w640-h410/20230426_194945.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>Paul and Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00052717018826341437noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582602557297370041.post-37656181792032981462023-04-26T11:38:00.001-04:002023-04-26T11:39:20.363-04:00PHOTOS GALORE<p> <span style="font-size: medium;">We had guests on board for eight fun filled days!

We travelled to Bimini, anchored on the Banks and spent time in New Providence (Nassau area). We bought 130 gallons of diesel and shopped for produce. We are good for quite awhile anchored out here in the blue, blue waters. Easter is next weekend and we can see many mega yachts anchored near Norman's Cay. We all share the same backyard and same sights whether in a mega yacht or a small sail boat. We are all here for the same reasons.

We are right now anchored in the Nassau area in West Bay. This is on the west end of the island and away from the city itself. We had a good crossing from Key Biscayne except the last hour because we had to turn off the stabilizers. An issue of overheating happened. We spent two nights in Bimini and one night on the Banks on our way here. We have a buddy boat with Star Link so we were able to log into their internet and have service that night. The most beautiful sunset! Our friends' first time anchored on the Banks, no land, no towers, nothing. It is special but some boats find it scary and don't anchor out there.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Nk1swhzX-4P1s1eVXAgw_5iwcvxgDT4TXxoCdaGZQLmzyp5k0FP0Pd7vUSx_N_ca42lmevw6kwkc7N3Xllii6qJIb_XanB72MDfHtuzuMhy9Q2SQ5dRBljuoBjr24eFT5tvAxMZvwo-as4b1287w4cVSA79YVLxdSkc6TzDAmgZdkaq4um4upG7-MA/s3024/IMG_20230328_204825_591.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Nk1swhzX-4P1s1eVXAgw_5iwcvxgDT4TXxoCdaGZQLmzyp5k0FP0Pd7vUSx_N_ca42lmevw6kwkc7N3Xllii6qJIb_XanB72MDfHtuzuMhy9Q2SQ5dRBljuoBjr24eFT5tvAxMZvwo-as4b1287w4cVSA79YVLxdSkc6TzDAmgZdkaq4um4upG7-MA/w640-h640/IMG_20230328_204825_591.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">C-Shel in front of us.

Ten times? Once we arrive into Exumas it will be the tenth time! Amazing how time flies and amazing we are not tired of this life we lead in the Winter/Spring. We visited Exumas two times on our catamaran Coyaba. If you view this blog in full web page form you will notice a link to Coyaba on the right (and other pages to link to). We were newbies when coming over on our catamaran. We were young too! Now, we are the older ones and the newbies are coming with children. Covid changed everyone's look on life and lifestyle. We know many boaters still working but from their boat and not an "office". </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Time Out is officially off grid now. We can run anything we want (except our oven) with our solar and lithium batteries. We haven't any need to run the generator. We can run our convection/microwave, washing machine, water maker and anything we want including my blow dryer, yippee!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I wasn't going to post on our blog this year but Paul wants me to. So, my posts may not be as numerous however, I plan to keep up with the Timeline 2023. I started this in 2020 after Covid as the world was changing and we go back to it to see where and when we were at various places.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirR5evAGQdr3quhHcz6KdvDEHj4njivIJ6PQebnuf4YDEflPkH-FbsogqBHN270N8uQU63LfsqtQ8AHKMsrjHJXspQ7g2x2wDFxdL6pqrGT4Sg2p-R-5ylnJ2QEXvpwMUEfBN1JiQycus/s1600/Vicki's+pics+167.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirR5evAGQdr3quhHcz6KdvDEHj4njivIJ6PQebnuf4YDEflPkH-FbsogqBHN270N8uQU63LfsqtQ8AHKMsrjHJXspQ7g2x2wDFxdL6pqrGT4Sg2p-R-5ylnJ2QEXvpwMUEfBN1JiQycus/w640-h480/Vicki's+pics+167.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption">At Hawksbill Cay, just another sunny day<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">This photo is from 2013!

We did stop at Big O's and had a great cocktail and saw all the signatures with the Sharpie all over their walls and beams.
