Nipper's BBQ

Sadly we had to say goodbye to Lisa on Friday and Steve on Saturday. We enjoyed having them on the boat and spending time together. It was great fun!!

Sam extended his stay and it will be nice to have him with us for a few more days. We left Treasure Cay for Great Guana Cay for the must attend Nipper's Bar and Grill Sunday BBQ. Sam caught a Barracuda on the way. I'm beginning to think they're the only fish in these waters.



The place was packed with lots of people of all ages and the food was absolutely delicious pork bbq, mac and cheese, baked beans, potato salad and cole slaw. It was a feast and the drinks weren't bad either.





John and I decided to leave Nipper's and spend the rest of the afternoon at Grabber's Bar and Grill listening to live music. The Sunday crowd at both resorts was fully energized and everyone had a great time dancing to the music.



The next day we headed for Marsh Harbor early in the morning to pick up John's sister Pasty and brother in-law Bob from England. We're very excited to see them and look forward to spending time together sailing around Abacos. They arrived in Nassau a few days ago and will be flying into Marsh Harbor to stay with us for the next 10 days.
