We are still in Treasure Cay. The marina here has a pool and an internet cafe, the harbor is very protected, we have friends here and the weather is gorgeous. Why leave? Well the infamous pig roast of course. Today we will leave to sail to Nipper's on Great Guana Cay, it is a short sail maybe five miles. Every Sunday they have a huge barbeque buffet set up, with two pools and an ocean front view. $20 bucks for all you can eat, what more could you ask for? In all likelihood we will sail back here to anchor this evening. We are expecting yet another cold front bring stronger winds and Great Guana is too exposed for that. I posted a couple more pictures on my facebook page. The kids are all well, they swam most of the day yesterday and went to bed exhausted at 8 o'clock.
We remain in Great Guana Cay, if you recall back at new years when we met a family from Georgia. Well upon our return we found them here again. They and their 9 year old son have stolen Colton and he has stayed with them the last two nights. We went fishing and caught two
more jack. One on a spear and one on a hook. Darby walked under a
flying bocce ball and sustained a cut on her forehead. She is
butterflied back together and healing well.
We caught another interesting thing on the fishing line. Totally inedible. A large brown seagull grabbed the lure and got hooked in the cheek. I recalled a lesson Chris Wagnon taught me about 22 years ago
when a loon landed in the parking lot at Cosca. Dave took a towel and
covered the birds eyes and wings. He was able to work the hook free
and the bird flew off squawking.
As we came back into the anchorage here last night I saw a 6 ft nurse
shark swim under the boat. Do you have any idea how much attention one
attracts when one hollers out "hey look at that big shark!"? I do...
Now.

We will be here for Easter then over to Hope Town.
Dave and I are in the Bahamas on our sailboat but I wanted to thank
you for a lesson you taught me many years ago. You might remember when
a lion landed in the parking lot at Cosca. You took one of the horse
blankets to wrap it up and release it. Yesterday a large brown seagull
grabbed a hold of our fishing lure. We hauled it in and wrapped it in a
beach towel just like you had. He squawked and flew away once Dave got
the hook out of his cheek.
I thank you and the seagull thanks you. Have fun. Lisa.
4-13-09 We are safely moored at Hope Town on Elbow Cay. It is overcast and almost kinds cool. Darby's head is healing nicely. Brie has a new goal of finishing school by the end of the month. Colton is watching cartoons in a bar. Tomorrow is Dave's birthday. We are making a chocolate pie. We will be here a couple days. Then who knows. Will keep you posted.
We are celebrating Colton's birthday with a devil's food cake. How's that for apropos? We are working our way northward slowly but surely. The Whale Cay requires crossing an inlet into the Atlantic then around a small cay and back into another inlet into the beautiful sea of Abaco. The crossing is extremely weather dependant and varies from flat calm to what they call a rage. Sounds bad. Don't want to try a rage. We will look tomorrow and see what we see. From there it is Green Turtle Cay. From there we will watch the gulf stream weather. I know I don't want to come back to cold weather. We will take our time up the icw. We would love to have company up the coast if you want to join us on a leg of the journey let us know and we will gladly make room for you. Miss you, my laundry room and my new shower. Write soon.
