Before we did this trip, I was not intimately familiar with the Sea of Abaco or the waterways leading into it. Courtesy of SkipperBob, I have attached some maps of the area. I hope that by clicking on them, you may be able to blow them up a little.
The upper map contains the areas through which we travelled on our way to the Sea of Abacos (the lower map). It is the area covered by the lower map that is the real playground.
Our first port of call was Fisher’s Bay near Nippers Bar, half way down Great Guana Cay.
Our friends Marion and Greg from Muskoka Moon joined us at Guana Cay. As you can see, they looked somewhat depressed - NOT!!!
After the briefest of stays, we moved on. The next day, we moved to Marsh Harbour as we were expecting the winds to swing around from the north and the anchorage would become untennable.

We were also fortunate enough to arrive on pot luck dinner night, an event at Grabbers Bar shared by boaters and cottagers alike. This proved to be our introduction to Bahamian slushies. These things are just like the kids version except that they are about 50% rum. Watch out!! They are so cold that frost, not condensation, forms on the outside of the cup.

These photos show our group at the pot luck dinner at Grabbers as well as the beach from Nippers.
As you can see, the sunsets continued to be beautiful. We were getting into real cruising mode, and seldom saw the sunrises any more.
