Keep On Cruising!!!!!


This Cruise ship seen off of Tilloo Cut from my front porch, one of the benefits of the Abaco Chain is we are too shallow to accommodate these ships which keeps us sheltered from their impact. Pretty to watch cruise on by............

Gas Delivery Abaco Style


Gas is delivered to Marsh Harbour, then into tankers pulled by trucks onto barge, then via barge to outer Cays for delivery to marinas and gas stations. Makes the simple life we live a little more expensive and labor intensive, however, it's all good!
