Lake Effect on Great Loop: Driving on Great Abaco Island

We'll we spent the last two weeks exploring Great Abaco Island. We had friends visiting so we explored further by car and revisited old spots. And here we are leaving the Sea of Abacos.

My friend Sylvie and I visited a primary school in Marsh Harbor. It was fun reading books to little ones and helping the grade one class select a library book to take home. Put my experience to use... just a different age group.

The school Angel Academy is a private school but they rely on fundraising and volunteer. Not sure if we made a difference but it was an experience. I'm sure they could use some of Tammy's ABC's for Rice experience. Lucky for them Tammy will be in Bahama this Spring.
As for event, it's at Monkey Joe's in
Freeport on April 21st. Will be $25 including dinner and a drink. There will be a dj or band. And will likely begin at 7.

Yvon and I went exploring the local reefs by dinghy. I stayed in the dinghy and as he swam away with his snorkeling gear. I saw a six feet shark about twenty feet from him. We'll what's a girl to do? Try to take a picture?

We also saw the Saint Patrick Day Parade. It's the shortest parade. It's about a mile long. There was one leader, one car and parade enthusiasts. We decided to participate by walking in the parade. We were rewarded with free drinks, beer and Jello shooters. It ended with a live band, Irish food and new friends.

We have Floridian friends visiting. We are excited to show them the area and explore with them. We took them to my favorite place. Hope Island is the most beautiful town in the Bahamas. Even seeing it again you can feel it's magic. We were planning on renting a golf cart but they are fully booked until November. It was disappointing but still worth walking around town and seeing the Atlantic Ocean side.

We drove to Cherokee point. It is the southern most point of the Little Abacos island. It is a sleepy fishing village. It has the longest dock in the Abacos.

We also visited Pete's Pub in Little Harbour. It is on a dirt road and we bounced around to get there. There is a huge cave there but we didn't visit it. We saw the bar that people leave their tshirt as souvenirs. Looks like a laundry room.

We also drove to Treasure Cay because you can't visit the Abacos without seeing it. The besutiful beach is still breath taking even though we had spent a week there.
