How about some Abaco pictures?

[Patti Puzo]

It's been awhile since the contest... and I am feelin' the need for some magical Abaco pix....

[Charlotte Couple]

Me too, and I can hardly wait til April, when I'll be able to take some for posting when I get back!

[BahamaBabe]

I have a feeling it's pretty bad...:(

When will you be in the Abacos next? (BTW, I am fresh out of pics. I posted all mine last week.)

[Patti Puzo]

It is....you guessed it...snowing. Right now. 7th consecutive storm.
We leave 5/3/07. Can not even tell you how much we are looking forward to trading the white snow for some white sand! (Sorry guys, I won't mention any more tidbits about the wintery weather this year).

[Patti Puzo]

Green Turtle Cay last April

[Charlotte Couple]

That WAS a windy day! I remember you said it was windy all week. We had one year like that, also in early April. Should be calmer for you this year, in May.

[DrRalph]

You can always catch a bunch of Abaco Photos on our Photos page (http://www.drralph.net/Photodex.html).

[DaGoose]

[DaGoose]

These are from my trip in November.

[South Pause]

Wonderful, crisp, and colorful (and oh, that blue!) photos!
Thanks for picking up my afternoon. :)

[Patti Puzo]

That's exactly what I needed too! Great job, and I love the picture of Rick on the front porch. What a gorgeous place! Is that on Lubbers?
And South Pause is right, you nailed the incredible blue of Abaco.
Thanks so much! I am a happy girl!:)

Big THANK YOU to the posters/pictures to the Abaco Forum :) It really means a lot to us. :D

[DaGoose]

You guys are most welcome! I might even be able to come up with a few more (if I can just finish cleaning the house, yukka!)

Patti, that pic of Rick is on the Green Bananas porch on Lubbers. What a view to wake up to! We just loved it there. We would have stayed there on this upcoming trip, however since we needed (not a typo!) to stay for 2 weeks, we decided to save a bit of money. It's a great place, very charming, and a perfect place for just 2 or a family with a couple of kids. When I was in Abaco in November, I saw that it was for sale. Just $850,000!!!!!!!!

[patw]

BUT I want to see some more SNOW pictures!! :p

Big THANK YOU to the posters/pictures to the Abaco Forum :) It really means a lot to us. :D

[Patti Puzo]

No more snow talk! (or pictures)

[Sandalman]

Pat I bet Patti would trade houses with you right now and you could see it all live!Thanks DaGoose for beautiful pictures and cheering us all up.

[DaGoose]

You're welcome, Sandalman!

Pat, be careful what you ask for! (Sorry to all of you who are freezing your butts off!:p )

Somehow, I think that what I am about to do is REALLY wrong:D

#1 The white stuff
#2 Star Valley Mountains
#3 Getting air
#4 Lost my hat!

[patw]

Thanks so much!!! We were in West Virginia for weeks in December and January and never saw a bit of snow! The pictures are beautiful. There is more than one kind of paradise you know!

[SamFamAustin]

Hey Da Goose I didn't see an problem with the picture of Rick on the front porch of Green Bananas. Clothes - check. Apparently, all the empty bottles and party favors were cleaned up. Narry any stray swimsuits or underwear to be found. What's the deal?

Oh, and that color of blue-green, I tried to replicate it on my porch ceiling and you know, there's no substitute for the real thing. Thanks for the attitude adjustment. /sammie

[DrRalph]

I'll swear the guy in Tina's first post: "#3 Green Bananas Porch morning (Rick is going to be mad at me for posting this one but I love it!)" is Ken Parrott.

[SamFamAustin]

Oh forgive me for my ignorance ... but he's the one I need to keep away from my parents gone wild, right?

[Jerry S]

BUT I want to see some more SNOW pictures!! :p

NUTS?? LOL;) Come on to North Ga and Peach and I will trade houses with you and Sidney for a few years ;)

[Abacoparrott]

The dude in the pic MUST be Rick........my feet are a lot purtier......ken

[Jerry S]

I'll swear the guy in Tina's first post: "#3 Green Bananas Porch morning (Rick is going to be mad at me for posting this one but I love it!)" is Ken Parrott.

Ken Parrott's feet were last seen on a photo copy in the restroom at CoCo Paradise :eek: OppsThat was Tiina's feet at a South Florida Board meeting !!

[Abacobrad]

Just got the new blackberry pearl phone and the first thing I had to do was set up the screen. Ahhhh:cool:

LOL, you don't EVEN know what was behind me when I took that photo! Probably 4 or 5 empty cases of Kalik Gold (wish there was a drunk smilie face to insert here.)

You should have seen us doing the trash dump in Hopetown with all those bottles/cases. I think next time I'm going to bring the "groucho' big nose w/glasses fake disguise so no one knows it's us with all the empty bottles!

Ken, Rick has the cutest feet ever. Maybe we need to have a contest!

OMG he would be mortified to see this post-better click send and give him a big kiss!

Tina

PS Sammie, I love the idea of a Parents Gone Wild Video. I think my folks would be up for it!

[Patti Puzo]

Mark and I can't wait to meet you guys! I think we are gonna have some BIG fun! :p
Thanks again for the pictures. I am looking at them a couple of times during the day. I love the front porch on green bananas....tropical and beach paradise.

[TurtleDreams]

I seemed to take alot of sunset, sunrise & rainbow shots on our Jan 07 trip... Here are a couple.

[DaGoose]

TurtleDreams, those photos are GORGEOUS! Thanks for posting them!

[DaGoose]

Rickie Ricardo

[SamFamAustin]

[Summerview]

[Patti Puzo]

Wow! What an eyeful! I would LOVE to be there right now......

[Patti Puzo]

Incredible shots! Pat, you never disappoint!

[DaGoose]

Busted.... Look out for Rickie Ricardo ( the one with the cute feet :D )

...I get my own 'handle' here on the board. Maybe Lucy MaGillicuddy would be good or MrsDaGoose, waddya think:confused:

Pat, those sunset photos are incredible!

And Phatman, how did you get that shot? It appears that you are way up high. Great photo of one of our favorite places!

Tina

[Sandalman]

Nice pics Pat!We look forward to seeing those views ourselves very soon.Thanks for the lift!:)

[TurtleDreams]

Thank you Tina, yours are too! In fact they're all good! Wish I was there with Pat!!

[Abacoparrott]

That pic of High Rocks brings back lots of memories......my favorite beach snorkeling spot of all time......HOURS of snorkeling, some.......ahem.....nekkid......in October of course, when few people were on-island......Ken:D

[patw]

Way too much information Ken! :rolleyes:

[Rock Steady]

This was taken last week...love that view...

[DaGoose]

Beautiful, Rocksteady. 90 Days till we see the same view!

[Rock Steady]

That one is from our front porch looking due south down Lubbers Channel, Tina.

Here's a few more. January was fantastic weatherwise, the best we may have ever experienced the past thirteen years or so and the fishing was kick'in.

Hope you enjoy...

c:cool:

[Rock Steady]

Maybe just one more...they all don't want to cooperate.

[DaGoose]

Nice dodo! We're hoping for some of those in May!

[Rock Steady]

It was a good few hours that day. Four dolphin that totaled 120#s...this one was 42#s and a blast on 30# gear. The wahoo were cooperative as well during the month there.

We fished from as far south as the Hole in the Wall and up to the Bridge.

The thing that struck me was the water temperature on the outside which was in the 82-84 degree range and the quality of the dolphin for this time of year...never seen the like of it in January. The water temperature in the Sound was in the 76-77 degree range.

[Abacoparrott]

Steady, you might be a novice but you sure can "cuddle"a dolphin! Ken:D

[ModeratorTwo]

Maybe just one more...they all don't want to cooperate.

I can see some nice filets/slices/steaks off that one :)

[Patti Puzo]

1) Off of Matt Lowe's Cay
2) Little Harbour, view from Pete's

[South Pause]

Sunset at Sunset Bar.

[Patti Puzo]

Is that on Guana?

[South Pause]

Yes, it's the home of the famous "Guana Grabbers", just left down the road off the ferry, not even a 5 min. walk.

[Patti Puzo]

I can't wait to find all these places. We have only been to Nipper's, Donna Sand's, and down the road towards Boat Harbour where Coconut-Tyme is. I think I remember seeing the sign for Bluewater Grill.

[DaGoose]

Just HAD to go thru more of our photos today!

#1 Green Bananas
#2 GB Sunset
#3 GB Dock
#4 GB Backyard
#5 Lubbers Sunset

[DaGoose]

...photos.

#1 Tahiti Beach (I hope I haven't posted this one before!)
#2 Tilloo Cut home (might be the one on Tavern Cay?)
#3 MOW Harbour
#4 "Spot" at Nippers

[Patti Puzo]

Hey Tina, we saw Spot last trip too! He was skippin down past Milo's and stopped to give our cart a sniff, then kept on goin.
He is a trip.

[DaGoose]

Yep, he is pretty darn cute! I just love Jack Russel's. They are such busy, independent, 'big' little dogs.

[Henz]

Jack Russel's body....... but the head???

[SamFamAustin]

Pit Bull head, Jack Russel body ... hey, that rodeo must have been a sight!

[Rock Steady]

I think this will work...a few more shots from January...our puppy; Pookie is seven months and this is her spot.and was her first trip to Abaco..my new true blue tackle locker which has been a long time coming...finally space for the important stuff.

[DaGoose]

Sammie, I used to have a female dog named Stanley (don't ask) and she appeared to be a cross between a pit bull and a dachsund. Pit bull body and a dachsund face. My Texas grandmother used to call her "Needle Nose"! That rodeo would also have been a sight!

I beg to differ with you all. I'm guessing ol' Spot is a pure bred Jack Russel. My brother has 2 purebreds and my folks have one and this little guy looks alot like them. BTW, who is his owner and does he usually hang out at Nippers all week or just on Sunday's? It looks like we may not be able to make the pig roast this next trip but we are definitely going to visit during the more laid back days. Would love to visit with Spot.

[DaGoose]

RockSteady, Pookie is SO CUTE! What a lucky dog! Will he/she be on Lubbers in early May?

I'm sure Rick will want to comment about what's in your tackle locker but I've just got to say that I love the blue paint. Kinda reminds me of another room discussed earlier this week!

[Rock Steady]

Hey Tina,

I can't even go there...what a dog...

She loves Lubbers...runn'in on the back beach....it was all new for her.

Lupe and I had a wondrous time with the Pookster...

We'll be there in early May...so should see you guys


'til then

c

[Summerview]

Hey Crispin- Nice Dolphin, knowing you you will need to make a second tackle locker by end of May. Love your Lubbers view.

Pookie is so cute, would love to get a picture of pookie and Wilson on da beach.

C-ya Tina & c in May on Lubbers. :cool:

[Rock Steady]

Hey Patti,

Thanks...he was a fun one...can't wait 'til May, we're not lik'in this cold...we'll definitely run the puppies on da beach then

See ya soon.

c

[Rock Steady]

Hey Patti,

Pookie sends her best wishes and says this snow definitely ain't sand!

[Abacoparrott]

I have a question.....and I'm NOT tryin' to be a smartass here......I really want to know......how many of these can you take under the new regs? Or do the new regs even apply to this species? Ken

[patw]

Spot is a purebreed Jack Russel and is owned by Pat Sands who works at Nippers. There are quite a few Jack's running around Guana but Spot is one of the friendlier ones. He has been know to just jump on your golf cart and go for a ride and then jump back off and go on his way. When Pat is off island, he usually shows up at our door for a visit.

[Rock Steady]

Ken,

Six pelagic fish per day, per boat, is the new reg. unless you have a Commercial license.

c

[Abacoparrott]

Appreciate the information....ken

[Charlotte Couple]

I know I could just look it up, but it might help others to post it here. What is the definition of "pelagic"?

[Rock Steady]

They are species which are typically mobile and migratory, some, more so than others ie. tuna, dolphin fish,wahoo and marlin.
