Abacos with Aaron, Kelly and family

July 2 - July 14, 2010

After a couple of days rest down at Little Harbour (and a few of Pete's "Blasters") we move up to Marsh Harbour to prepare for the arrival of our son, Aaron and his family: wife Kelly, son Noah, age 9 and daughter Kennedy, age 6.

They are flying in on July 5th and we are anxious to see family again.  The next 10 days pretty much goes by in a blur of activity - back down to Little Harbour, Lynyard Cay, Hope Town, Guana Cay, Green Turtle, Manjack Cay, then back to Marsh Harbour for their flight home.  Here are a few of the pics:

Noah and Kennedy swimming off the back of the boat at Little Harbour.


We did some snorkeling at the little reef at the entrance to Little Harbour.  They loved it.  Both kids swim like a fish and are excited by seeing the colorful fish and corals.

Aaron, Kelly, Noah and Kennedy taking the dinghy over to Pete's Pub.


And on the beach at the Pub.


Noah and Kennedy in the "Crows Nest".


Aaron showing his skill at the ring hook game...  A good view of the inside of the pub.

Probably the largest hermit crab I've ever seen...


Grandma and Grandpa on the beach.


Exploring the cave on the other side of the harbour...





We anchor just off a beach at Lanyard Cay for the night and dinghy over to Sandy Cay to snorkel the reef there.

At Hopetown, the family visits the lighthouse.




It's the last remaining kerosene vapor lighthouse in operation.

At green Turtle Cay, Aaron and Kelly went on a dive trip with Brendals Dive and we rented a golf cart to tour the Cay and New Plymouth.




A view of town...



At Guana Cay, we celebrated Katy's birthday at Orchid Bay marina.
