| This is what retirement looks like... :) |
Okay... I must stop promising to do a blog within a specific time frame. I know I promised a blog immediately after the last one but I've was just having too much fun with the family to stop & write. Scott's parents just spent 9 days here & we had sooo much fun. Despite some of the worst weather we've seen since our arrival in November, we had some good old fashioned family time.

| Papa is chillaxin |
We spent a couple of days just lazing around the amazing beach at Treasure Cay, where the sand feels like flour & the sea reflects the color of the sky.

| Jib's new BFF...Sophia |
While we were all catching some rays, Jib made a new friend, Sophia. They played together non-stop all afternoon. Sophia is such a cutie & we were all so impressed how she & Jib seem to have a real friendship connection.
Scott dove the shipwreck nearby & speared 3 lobster which we all enjoyed in a yummy lobster pasta. No evening would be complete in the Bahamas without the traditional conch shell blow at sunset & it turns out the best horn blower of all is.....Momma Schapker.
On Sunday we decided to island hop over to Guana Cay for the weekly pig roast at the "world famous" Nipper's Beach Bar.

| Trying to stay warm on our island hop from Treasure Cay to Guana Cay. I tried to remind Mom & Dad they were on a tropical island... |
It is very difficult to capture waves on camera. They never appear as large as they are & this pic is no exception. Our ride over to Guana was very bumpy. We had 3-5ft waves directley on the beam (which means hitting us square on the middle of the boat) which causes the boat to roll significantley from side to side. Its enough to turn the inside of the boat upside down. Bottles turned over, books falling out of the book shelves, etc. While Malaika has certainly seen bigger seas...when it's your 1st time on a sailboat..it can be a little intimidating. Scott & I were so surprised by Mom & Dad's easy acceptance of a lumpy bumpy ride.

| Finally made it to Nipper's! |
 |
| The Sea of Abaco wasn't the only bumpy place! Check out the Atlantic just on the other side of the island. |
 |
| A couple of Pirates at Pirate's Cove |
We ended the day at Pirate's Cove with a couple of cold beers and some amazingly delicious coconut ice cream. What a fabulous day!
Today we sailed from Guana Cay back to Marsh Harbor to get Mom & Dad to the airport. The only bad thing about having family come to visit....is saying goodbye. :( Scott & I had a quiet...kinda sad...rest of the day. The past 2 weeks having family here was so awesome. We hope y'all will continue to visit us as we sail on further south....wherever the wind takes us.
Love you all so much. XXXOOO
Michelle, Scott & Jib

Thank you so much for posting the pictures of Jib and Sophia. We had such a great time watching the two of them together. Sophia really was in heaven that you "shared" Jib with her that afternoon! We really hope that we will soon find a dog as kind and beautiful as yours! Until then we will follow Jib's adventures here on your blog:-)))
