Got Conch?
It’s no secret that I love the coral-colored queen conch shell. I took a look back at some of my old blog posts from 2014 and surprised myself at the many photos of conch shells – the ones we collected … Continued
Treasure Cay
The weather pattern has continued – big winds, very cool for here in the Bahamas. After the most recent high winds and surf we used our bikes again to visit the beach area down by Abaco Inn. As soon as … Continued
Al and The Abaco Rage!!
The Rage is a classic Bahamian workboat that doesn’t “work” so to speak, but rather, races in the time-honored tradition of Bahamian workboat regattas. For background about these workboat regattas, The Rage’s own website has a nice description which I have … Continued
