The Feelin' of the Island

So the photos have arrived. Our home for the week was Man O' War Cay, part of the Abaco island chain in the Bahamas. The island was small, home to about 200 or so people. The island has no real roads, just paths for golf carts. There is a grocery store and a bank or two but not much else. The post office is open for six hours every week. The island is also dry but we brought over our own supply of gin and Kalik beer from Marsh Harbour.

Drew learned how to drive a motor boat and a sailboat. I went out once on the catamaran and worked the jib sheet. I got several gallons of salt water directly in the face and had my butt in Jamie's face the whole time. It was a lot of fun but much more adventurous than Jamie had ever intended.

One day we went to a shoal and we anchored the boat off shore and jumped off into the GORGEOUS water. We played frisbee and messed around while trying to figure the best way to flip someone up out of the water. Check out the height Jamie got! I think this day may have been my favorite day of the trip.
































Here is a view from the top of the lighthouse we visited at Hopetown on Elbow Cay. You can see a rainstorm coming across.We got drenched in the storm but found a bar to hide in and wait out the storm.











Check out this beautiful sunset.

And a final picture of us. Cute, huh?
