A few more pictures...

On our way back to Marsh Harbour and look what we were up against, scary for sure!  No damage done!

Thankfully it went in the opposite direction.

This is Abacos delivery boat, their version of our Fed Ex!

Castle on Tavern Cay which is part of Tilloo Cays, where we first anchored

We are back in Hope Town, weather was suppose to be wicked but it didn't blow as much here.  I know that Charlotte C in Manjack and Images 1 in Guana got it much worse than we did, over 30 knots!  Our next destination is Sandy Cay to do a bit of snorkling.  And after that Little Harbour once the high tide lets us in!

Today I'm going to hunt for sea glass and if I'm lucky maybe find a heart bean!

Trois jours magnifique à Green Turtle Cay - que du bonheur

Green Turtle Marina, little paradise

 

Welcome

New Plymouth, Green Turtle Cay, resturant and liquor store

New Plymouth, Green Turtle Cay, main street!  We had rented a golf cart for the day to visit the town, it was very strange having to drive on the wrong side of the street, here it is like England, turning corners, ha, very strange

Brendal dive master.  It was my first time scuba diving so Pierre offered me a day with an expert (X-Mas present), I was a little nervous at first but 2 seconds and wow, the underwater life was so beautiful I forgot about everything else.  I saw sharks, big ones, that was a little stressful and large tarpons, anyway bigger than me.  Around the reefs all sorts of fish, all sort of sizes and colors.  Just a magical day!  We ended the day with a cook out on a deserted beach.

 

The ray that you see above is so soft, her skin feels like silk.  I can't believe I feed and petted her.

We are once again back at Manjack Cay, we are waiting for weather to cross the Whale Passage.  Since we arrived we have had a great supper aboard Odyssey IV with Charlotte C and Images 1, two bottles of champagne, wine etc....yes, none of us felt any pain.  Thanks to Charlotte C we had craw fish served with couscous!  2 days later, on the beach there was a cook out, it was just great!  There are people here from different parts of the world, and many have travelled the four corners on there sailing vessels, it make for very interesting conversations.

Life is just wonderful on our little sailing vessel.

The date today is January 17, 2011

Quelques photos

Odyssey IV at Mangrove Cay

Nous voilà rendus à Green Turtle Cay, nous avons décidé de nous gâter un peu et prendre quelques jours attacher a un quai!

Depuis le West End, on a pausé l'ancre Mangrove Cay, Great Sale Cay, Allans-Pensacola Cay, Powell Cay et Manjack Cay où nous avons été accueillie par Charlotte C, nos voisin de la Marina de Portneuf.

Les Abacos sont d'une beauté extraordinaire, des plages blanches, de petites îles et l'eau turquoise.

Enfin à l'eau demain

Ça fait une éternité que j'ai ecrit sur mon blog!

Nous avons travaillé fort sur Odyssey IV, malheureusement nous n'avons pas tout terminé, mais si on veut partir pour les Bahamas, on laisse la peinture du pont pour une autre fois, même si elle n'est pas jolie, elle flotte quand même.
Nous avons eu une situation familiale qui nous a empêché d'avancer, la situation est maintenant sous contrôle...alors notre voyage continue. Ce fût des moments très stressant.
Demain matin, enfin, on va être a l'eau. Quelques jours de vérification, emplette, peinture :-)...et notre aventure commence.

Photos a suivre..
