Blaine tries his luck (or lack of luck) fishing on a day trip from Green Turtle Cay (1/25/02)

ReefNoGlasses.jpg (49136 bytes)ReefGlasses.jpg (46937 bytes)
Having polarized sunglasses in the islands is a must.  The picture on the left shows how the underwater reef looks without polarized glasses.  The one on the right, with polarized glasses, shows the differing colors and especially the brown section, indicating a reef JUST below the surface!  (1/25/02)

ReefColors.jpg (36737 bytes)
Here's another shot of the reefs we were fishing behind.  Without good sunglasses you'd never find your way out before ending up on top of one of those reefs. (1/25/02)

Sunrise over the anchorage at Baker's Bay, Guana Cay Abacos.  (1/26/02)

LaundryDay1.jpg (53722 bytes)LaundryDay2.jpg (64088 bytes)
Not every day of a cruiser's life is spent relaxing.  Today was laundry day in the islands.  We got it all washed, but it didn't dry so well.  So, we turned 'Charbonneau' into Chinese laundry.  How'd you like to have us for neighbors! :-)  (1/26/02)

Nippers.jpg (59580 bytes)Nippers1.jpg (54428 bytes)
Relaxing (again) at Nipper's Beach Bar on Guana Cay with our friends Norm and Ami Carroll (Mon Ami).  We both left NC in 1999 and we caught up with them here.  The shot on the right is of Nippers from the beach.  (1/26/02)

DolphinsPlane.jpg (59439 bytes)
This seaplane belongs to the Miami Dolphins.  It came roaring in and landed right next to us at Guana Cay.  We gave the pilots a ride to the dock in our dinghy.  Nice perk if you can play football, huh?   (1/27/02)

GuanaCayHouse.jpg (73192 bytes)
We found this house on Guana Cay.  This is exactly the kind of place that would bring me off the boat and back onto land.  Very tropical!  (1/27/02)

GuanaCayWildlife.jpg (62404 bytes)
Meet some of the Bahamian wildlife.  Friendly looking fellow..  (1/27/02)

Pocketmail.jpg (55179 bytes)
Checking email in the Bahamas is interesting.  First we have to find a working phone (not easy) and then use our PocketMail device.  Laptop connections cost upwards of $2.00 per minute! YIKES!

LittleHarbour.jpg (49635 bytes)
Little Harbour was a nice place to wait for weather before crossing to the Eleuthera area.  That's Charbonneau anchored just behind the stern of the dinghy.  (2/9/02)

LittleHarbourPetesPub1.jpg (68206 bytes)LittleHarbourArtwork.jpg (89544 bytes)
Two of the main attractions in Little Harbour.  The infamous out of the way bar and grill,  Pete's Pub (left) and Randolph Johnson's sculpture studio (right)
