Here are the last of our February photos!
Just so you know, I am unable to sort the photos in the order they were taken...this program just pops them in wherever it feels like! So they are not in chronological order nor are they sorted by place, so all photos taken in the same place are not necessarily together. I'm sure there's a way to remedy this but I haven't figured it out yet....so my apologies!
For those of you who are interested, and are following us on a map the chronology of our travels in February goes like this:
Marsh Harbor, Treasure Cay, Great Guana Cay, Man O'War Cay, back to Marsh Harbor,
Hope Town, Lynyard Cay, Little Harbor,
Royal Island, Spanish Wells.
We will hopefully head to northern Eleuthera within the next few days!
 Royal Island A walk across the island ended up at this beautiful little lagoon  
Spanish Wells Mooring Field..only room for 6 boats. Alderaan is in the middle of the pack and Sanderling a few boats in front of us.
 Man O' War Cay  Lynyard Cay, Abacos Sanderling and Alderaan at anchor in the background. We stayed here for a few days waiting for good weather to head through Little Harbor Inlet headed for Royal Island and Spanish Wells  At Royal Island we came across an abandoned villa that apparently was gorgeous in its day!  Lynyard Cay beach (uninhabited island by the way)  Just keeping cool on a hot day.  Just hangin and chattin...waiting for nothing   |

| Look at the color of that water! We are now in Great Guana Cay for a few days and then will head on to Man'O War Cay. Will leave the Abacos by the end of the week and then head on to Eleuthera and Exumas for a few weeks. We will probably part with Bob and Diane at that point as they need to head to Nassau to pick up their daughter and family, and we will then head further south to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. But down here, plans can change at any point! Hope everyone is well! |

| Man O'War Cay |
 |
| Market at Man O'War....after our daily walks around the island we would always stop here for an ice cold coke...heard many stories from locals while sitting on this bench! Notice all the conch shells on the shelf behind Marc |
 |
| Treasure Cay We were on a mooring in the harbor but included in the $15 fee was the use of this beautiful pool and beach. |
 |
| Great Guano This boat flipped over while a bunch of teenagers tried to run it up onto the beach near the infamous "Nippers" bar and grill. It took the better part of an afternoon for the group who assembled on the beach to help to flip it back over and get it out past the surf again. |
 |
| Look who's right in the thick of the "rescue mission"! |
 |
| The infamous "Nippers" beachside bar and grill. Great Guana with Bob, Diane, Rudder and our new friends Linda and Kip on "Mischief" |
 |
| Orchid Bay, Great Guana We had a pot luck get together with all the other cruisers in the harbor on the deck at Orchid Bay Marina |
|
| A garden entrance in front of a little cottage at Man O' War |
 |
| Marsh Harbor, Abacos We took a dinghy ride around the tip of Marsh Harbor and found this beautiful beach...had it all to ourselves! |
 |
| Sanderling and Alderaan at anchor in Marsh Harbor...ended up staying here for a full week due to 3 back to back cold fronts. High winds, unsettled weather. Lots of our other cruiser friends were here too, so we managed to stay busy and have fun! |
 |
| Diane and I took a ferry over to Hope Town one day. We rented bikes and toured the whole island and had lunch at a little restaurant called "On Da Beach" on a beautiful bluff overlooking the ocean |
Back to beautiful Man O'War Cay
This path went on for a mile or so past gorgeous beaches on the ocean side, and Sea of Abaco on the other.

More views of our morning walks on Man O' War Cay |
Interesting gate...eh?
(I'm getting lots of fun ideas for the cottage when we get back!)
Little Harbor, Abacos
Our last stop before leaving the Abacos heading towards Euleuthra
This is a famous foundry where Randolph Johnson creates his beautiful bronze sculptures which are sold all over the world.
The view from inside the foundry...Little Harbour
My favorite sculpture....only $18,000!
The outside of the foundry and gallery
Little Harbor....Pete's Pub for lunch!
We had to dinghy over from Lynyard Cay to get to Little Harbor because it's too shallow for our boat.
