Return to the Bahamas

After a years hiatus, we returned to the Abacos early December to share our time with members of the Royal Marsh Harbour Yacht Club. It was good to reunite with everyone and have time to catch up.

Carolyn was able to spend time with our friends at Royal Potcake Rescue from Atlanta who visited the area. They were able to do some work with local rescue groups and in the end took ten dogs back to Atlanta to place for adoption. At last report, most had been adopted.

Robert continued working on his watercolor painting with the help of several local artists, the most notable being the Minnis family from Nassau. The entire family represents some of the best artwork in the Bahamas, and the time that they afforded to critique and advise was most appreciated.

It has been a sad time as well. In January we lost our 4yr. old Coco to a tragic accident. She fell while climbing off the boat apparently causing internal injuries and succumbed on board during the night. Our appreciation goes out to the staff at Abaco Beach Resort for their care and understanding. Coco was buried on the property in a befitting location overlooking the Sea of Abaco and her favorite running area.

Time goes by so fast, however it has been a wonderful season. The weather has been fantastic and we have seen so many of those we have met over the years during our stay and hopefully things will warm up by the time we get back to Georgia.
