I have been a very bad blogger this week. Sorry everybody. It's been a busy few days. I aspire to do a blog At least every other day but sometimes, I'm just not in the "zone" to write. And sometimes...what we're doing just isn't that interesting. For example, "Today it was raining all day so we sat around and read our books for the entire day." Boring. Anyway...this past storm was very windy but passed without any incidence. Despite sustained 35mph winds with gusts over 40mph (for almost 24 hours) all boats stayed anchored & secure. Yay! By Monday morning Mother nature was all calmed down & we could get off the boat. Our friends Dana & Matt from s/v Corsair rented a car for the day & invited us to come along to tour the island. There are several places in Abaco that we are not able to go to because it's too shallow for our boats so this was such a great opportunity. Thank you so much Corsair for inviting us! They even invited Jib. :)
Our 1st stop was Cherokee Sound. A quaint little fishing village that is famous for having the longest dock in all of the Bahamas. And that's pretty much it. Not much going on in Cherokee Sound but the dock is stunning & worth seeing.

Next stop was Little Harbor. We have anchored near Little Harbor several times but we are not able to bring our boat inside the harbor because again, it's too shallow for Malaika. Little Harbor is a pretty popular destination here in Abaco & is home to "world" famous Pete's Pub.

Here are some more scenes from Little Harbor. It is also a quaint little village that seems to really cater to cruisers.

| Sea Grapes. That is really the name of this plant. It's everywhere in the Bahamas but Little Harbor was the 1st place we actually saw the grapes. |

We had a fabulous time on our road trip. It was awesome to see parts of Abaco by land. It felt a bit strange to be in a car. It's been awhile...plus, they drive on the left side here. It definitely takes getting used too!
So the past few days we've just been plugging away at our chores getting Malaika ready for our family who will be here 48 hours from now!!! Sooooo excited!!

I am so happy to report that Scott successfully fixed our dinghy motor and we can finally go faster than idle speed. Now we can almost keep up with all the big boys in the harbor. :)
Love & Miss everybody!!! XXOO
Michelle, Scott & Jib
