Treasure Cay - Wednesday June 1 - Friday June 3

Hello everyone!
We went to Treasure Cay which is actually in the center part of Great Abaco, not it's own island.  It is a vacation spot that many other cruisers have talked about and we think it is where the Hamlins from Hopkinton came in April.  (Pam did I get that right?)  We anchored in the harbor the first night and welcomed the sunset with our own conch horn that everyone has mastered - (well almost everyone.)  We explored the resort the next day and went to the beach which is a gorgeous stretch of 3 mile white sand and blue surf.

There was a volleyball net setup near the beach club and Hannah and Patrick began a game of Nuke-em, a favorite game at Elmwood School.  Very quickly, another family joined us and by the end of the day we had at least 30 people playing!  The other family was visiting from Georgia, with their beautiful dog named Taco!  He looked just like the Chihuahua  from the Taco Bell commercials - thus his name!  LeighAnn (the Mom) and her husband Jamie, son Will and his friend Jett, have been coming to Treasure Cay for years.  More about them later.  Of course, our team triumphed and the day was quite a success.





After a couple of games, Emily and the kids were quite taken with Taco and started playing with him, for a while at least, until Taco got tired of them and took a chunk out of Emily's finger!  Luckily he didn't do much harm but Emily was very angry!  LeighAnne, felt so bad that we spent the afternoon talking and they were just the nicest people.  They own two condos there at Treasure Cay which we visited later in the day and now can rent if anyone is interested!  They even asked us to bring the boat into their slip since no one was using it.

It was a great evening at Treasure Cay.  It was Thursday and we learned that Thursday is Pizza night and I think everyone within a 100 mile radius comes to pizza night!  We ordered pizza and it really made us miss the good pizza we can get at home but it hit the spot for now!

Friday was supposed to be our day to get back early to Marsh Harbor and prepare for the Jones' to arrive from New Jersey but a surprise was handed to us instead.....
