Hello everyone,
I write to you from Guana Cay, home of Nipper's and Grabber's - two very popular spots in the Abacos. They both remind me a bit of the Beachcomber in Wellfleet but better!! We have had a very fun but hot week in the Bahamas. We left Hopetown on Wednesday and went to Tahiti Beach and Lubber's Quarters to celebrate the full moon. The water was calm and clear and everyone went to Cracker P's for the full moon party. We had a great time too! They served a Bahamian Buffet and all the kids were in heaven. When Patrick woke up on Thursday he told me he dreamt about the buffet and that he had marshmallow pie with cream cheese frosting. (I think maybe the aren't getting enough food!)
We snorkeled at a wonderful spot called Sandy Cay and had the most amazing experience. Emily was not feeling right and wanted to stay in the dinghy. We tied up to a mooring and splashed into the water above an amazing reef where the fish and coral were brilliant. We kept checking on Emily who was very happy to sit in the dinghy and be our lookout. One other boat in the area reported seeing a baby hammerhead shark but we never saw it. Those rumors were enough to keep Emily out of the water but she was very lucky and spotted an eagle ray and pointed to it for us. Hannah and I followed it and I was able to get a picture even though it was about 20 feet below us.
Patrick went back to the dinghy to rest with Emily and they started yelling "turtle"!! We were able to follow it and take some wonderful photos and video as we got closer. He seemed to be posing for us!!
We think we have seen it all now!!
