Heidi after a swim at Tahiti Beach

Terry, Peggy and Heidi onboard m/v More Attitude spent a quiet anchor at Tahiti Beach off of Elbow Cay for a few days last week. We dingied in everyday for a walk on the beach and a swim with Heidi.

Abaco Beach Resort

We are all safely stowed in our winter slip at Boat Harbour on the Sea of Abaco. Monthly social events are posted and the daily events include, water aerobics, yoga, bocci ball, bridge, arts and crafts or just snooze around the pool and play dominoes.  Our club, The Royal Marsh Harbour Yacht Club is headquartered here in the winter months and we have approximately 60 boats in the marina and about another 25 club boats moored either in the harbor at Marsh Harbour, Treasure Cay and Hopetown Harbour. So our monthly get-to-gether's are fun and lively. Our first big annual Club event is the Chili Cookoff on January 11th, male chefs only are judged for their category. Chef Terry won Best Overall in 2009 so he will be a judge for the event. So far 22 chefs have signed up to bring a gallon of chili each.

Santa was delivered by boat to Settlement Point where he was greeted by all the children of Green Turtle Cay, music and bingo followed.

From our table at Bakers Bay we could see this condo building with 3 - 6 million dollar a piece condos overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

GREAT TIME AT GREEN TURTLE CAY AND LEEWARD YACHT CLUB

Exactly 3 weeks and 3 days were spent on Green Turtle Cay this season. Usually we do not hang around that long because we are always in a hurry to plant ourselves at Boat Harbour Marina at Marsh Harbour on Great Abaco Island. Once we were at Leeward Yacht Club, we didn't want to leave. Beautiful, gorgeous white sand beaches were a short stroll away from the marina on Black Sound where the water temperature in the in-ground pool was maintained at 88 degrees! Daily drink specials for $3.00 were offered up at the Tiki Bar and there was much to do in the settlement because Thanksgiving and Christmas were upon us. Lighting of the town Christmas tree fesitivities, golf cart parade, children's torch parade, jingle bell trot, boat parage and the festival of lights were a sampling of the spirit of Green Turtle Cay this time of year and we enjoyed every event. Side trips included lunch at Bakers Bay with John and Sharon Kool and a trip to Marsh Harbour to see the new grocery store "Maxwells".

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.
