ABACO ISLANDS WE HAVE ARRIVED

 We have arrived from Florida to the Abaco chain of islands. These islands are different from the Exuma islands and further north. It is hot this time of year and it is hurricane season! The good news is that we are close enough to Florida most times to just get back to our home marina if a named storm is heading our way.

We arrived last week just after the restrictions changed for travellers to the Bahamas. We did not need a test anymore if we are vaccinated yippee. This is very convenient for boaters as we had to walk or dinghy to a testing place and if weather did not permit us to travel, we needed to be tested again.

We checked in to Customs and Immigration at Old Bahama Bay Marina at West End (like most boaters). Then we carried on to different anchorages. The weather is very unpredictable from one hour to the next so we have to be prepared. It can rain 4 or 5 times a day, winds heavy, then light, cloud, rainbow and sunshine. .....etc.


Our view from back of boat last night. So amazing!



We have seen water spouts every day. They are a common occurrence.




We see rainbows too!



I have started this mushroom kit. The above photo is BEFORE. Will post more photos along the way. I have microgreens on board too. 


HAPPY CANADA DAY JULY 1! 

We plan on decorating the exterior of Time Out. Check out the post Time Line Abaco.
