Elbow Cay - Abaco Inn

Our final dinner in the Bahamas was at the Abaco Inn. One side faces White Sound in Elbow Cay and the other side faces the Atlantic Ocean.
While getting ready to go to dinner our dingy motor gave out for the second time. Luckily there were a set of home or residences being  built with their own docks. The Abaco Inn told us that we could dock there.

Elbow Cay - Hope Town - Reef Bar & Grill

After the light house we crossed the harbor in our dingy, walked around Hope Town some and stopped for drinks and food at the Reef Bar & Grill.
There were some great views.

Elbow Cay - Hope Town - Light House

We visited the light house in Hope Town on Elbow Cay.


The light house was originally red and white.

Man-O-War Cay

Having moored in the Man-O-War Cay Eastern Harbour the night before some of us went to explore Man-O-War Cay on foot. The boat and a few passengers went out of the harbor and met a boat with filled scuba tanks.
I really enjoy how polarizing filters allow you to see through water.

Man-O-War Cay - Eastern Harbour

Sunset shots in the Eastern Harbour of Man-O-War Cay.

Mooring 4800 (Robertson and Caine International Yachts)

I decided to take photos of our boat for the week. Our boat was a Mooring 4800 by Robertson and Caine International Yachts.
The beds were okay for two people. There were two drawers and a cabinet along with the side shelves.

Fowl Cay - West

West of Fowl Cay we saw the yacht Zoom Zoom Zoom, which is another rental. Quite the boat. But by using a telephoto zoom lens I was able to see the writing on the water slide.
The yacht had jet skis and a giant floating flamingo.

Great Guana Cay - Bakers Bay

We spent the night at Bakers Bay off Great Guana Cay. More sunset photos.
Another rental boat also thought it was a good idea.

No Name Cay (Video)

We took the dingy to No Name Cay and I shot a little video of the pigs and chickens.

No Name Cay

We visited No Name Cay, the home of the swimming pigs.
The pigs were very food motivated. So were the chickens. But the chickens took second fiddle to the pigs for food.

Green Turtle Cay - White Sound

Morning photos of White Sound at Green Turtle Cay.

Green Turtle Cay - White Sound

We went for dinner on shore at Green Turtle Cay in White Sound. I took some sunset photos.
We parked at the dingy pier.

Crab Cay - Mangrove (Video)

I also took a video while we were motoring around the mangroves.

Crab Cay - Mangroves

Later in the day we took the boat to Crab Cay where there are a bunch of mangroves. We took the dingy into the mangroves.
The mangroves were very pretty and were flowering. This mangrove area was also quite shallow.

Manjack Cay - North

We spent the night off Manjack Cay. In the morning we took the dingy and kayaks to the beach to see the sting rays and some sharks. We all did some snorkeling.
The water generally had very pretty colors.

Great Abaco Island – Marsh Harbour – Leonard M. Thompson International Airport

We started our trip in the Bahamas by landing at Leonard M. Thompson International Airport in Marsh Harbour on Great Abaco Island. The airport is quite small with no normal gates, all stairs / ramps and walks on the tarmac.
You can take some closer than usual photos of planes.
