Childrens Torch Box Parade

The children of Green Turtle Cay paraded through town with their turkey hats and torch boxes that they made, this years theme was Africa.

Festivities at Green Turtle Cay

Festivities for Thanksgiving included Terry's idea of putting me in my place for a while. 

Thanksgiving 2010

We were entertained by the children of Green Turtle Cay as they held a Torchlight Procession thru town on Thanksgiving. It's amazing how many primary school age children live on Green Turtle Cay and how talented they are. Turkey and ham were offered up for a modest price and we had a very old fashioned Thanksgiving feast with the townsfolks not to be forgotten.

Green Turtle Cay, Abaco, Bahamas

2 Shorty's is the newest take out food stop in Green Turtle Cay, its where all the locals eat. These sisters cook out of their house and do a thriving business. Conch Fritters are $5.00 and Kalik is $4.00. What a deal. They told us that they are so popular with the locals because they cook the best chicken wings on the island ($5.00) conch is for tourists, chicken for residents!

Lobster Time!

One of our favorite things about the Bahamas is their wonderfully fresh and available crawfish. To us its a lobster tail, but truefully its a crawfish (no claws). At Old Bahama Bay the local lobster guys will bring them over to your boat fresh daily and you can drill down the price. The guy in the picture first wanted $8.00 a tail, I ended up paying $25. for 5 and then he threw in another 2 for a cold beer and a pack of Nabs. Easy and I didn't have to spear them myself. 

Anchoring at Dragon Point on the Banana River

This is how our evening looked at our anchorage at Dragon Point on the Banana River in Eau Gaille, Florida. The colors were spectacular and we enjoyed a cool evening without any boat traffic. Red skies at night.......

On Indian River approaching Titusville, a group of dolphins follow the boat and make eye contact.
