I found this old photo of a boat in Abaco ~ I thought the name was funny.

Brendal Stevens ~ Abaco

Brendal Conch 15, originally uploaded by tpatton.

When we were in Treasure Cay on the beach -this guy comes up in a boat and with another guy and two ladies. They were having fun. He had this same swim suit on . I wanted to take a picture of him by the turquoise water, but I didn't get a chance to. A big rain storm came up and we all ended up in a restaurant/bar and we talked to him. He is a pretty famous Dive instructor. He was taking a day off and enjoying himself with friends that day. Brendal is in his 60's and in very good shape. My mom was asking me about him if I had a picture - and I don't, but I found this one on Flickr. I wanted to post this so I can remember his name and that suit.

I forgot Nippers

I forgot to post pictures of Nippers, a beach bar and grill on Great Guana Cay in Abaco.  It is a colorful, lively hangout on a great beach and with a pool.

Last Three Photos of The Abacos

These pictures were taken at Treasure Cay ~ If we went back to Abaco, this is where I want to stay.   The beach here is amazing and I found the best shells and some little sand dollars.  Unfortunately, a big rain storm came up after these photos were taken and we had to stay inside and then we had to get on the boat and leave when the rain was over.

Reflections

Everyone said "You should go to Abaco"

When ever we gush about Exuma, someone tells us we should go to Abaco, so in August we went to Abaco. There are a number of large Cays that you can get to by your rental boat or ferry but it is a lot bigger than the area in Exuma that we explore. There are only a few parts of Abaco that have the turquoise water that glows like Exuma and there are no sand bars to walk on. I love to do that in Exuma. Tom had to snorkel to get some sand dollars, so Abaco is bigger and has deeper water that is not as pretty as Great Exuma. Here are the some of the photos from our trip to The Abacos-we went to Marsh Harbour (the main airport is here) Elbow Cay (rented a house here), Tilloo Cay, Great Guana Cay, Green Turtle Cay, Man Jack Cay, and Treasure Cay. (I like Treasure Cay the most). We also had Tropical Storm Fay around so it was cloudy much of the time and some bad rain storms popped up.   They have problems with the power here - the electricity went out for hours at a time - all the houses have generators.  We didn't like that at all.  The water was in short supply too.
