The Abacos

---

We returned to the Abacos in May, the northernmost group of islands in the Bahamas, and stayed there for over a month. We had a great time revisiting this area, re-uniting with old friends (and their dogs) while cruising around to our favorite anchorages and beach bars. Of course we took the opportunity to explore some new islands and watering holes as well. We had family fly in and visit us there- which was great to share the cruising life with them. And we filled our days with kayaking, snorkeling, and taking Kona to the beach. All in all our time in the Abacos went by too quickly and before we knew it the cruising season was coming to a close. The days were getting filled with thunderstorms and unpredictable weather, not to mention that hurricane season had already begun. So it was time to cross back to the States and work our way north to safety. We have had an amazing 6 months in the Bahamas this year, filled with friendship, fun, and plenty of sunshine (as well as wind). We have memories that will last a lifetime and have learned so much about the Bahamian culture as well as about ourselves.

One night at anchor in the Abacos the sky was lit up, it was like nothing we have ever seen.
