The Three Mosquitoes...reading...homes on our bicycle route to Freeport

Hank and Anthony making music at Ocean Reef. Most Wednesday evenings we had a Sing-a-long with Boaters and Time-Share people at Groupers Restaurant. It was fun and kept our fingers in shape.

On Tuesdays I would go and visit Margaret, a woman who went blind 7 years ago. This is her apartment in a Row Housing Complex. She lives with her 14 year old son. She was selling peanuts at the grocery store, on the sidewalk outside, and she was asked not to do that anymore so now she stays at home. She was saddened by this, she liked having a purpose to get out and be around people. The people going by her everyday would stop and visit with her and pass her some extra money. She is a very special person.

When we first came to Ocean Reef this complex was just being started. We would bicycle by it on our way to Freeport, and now it's almost ready to be lived in.

This fence is made from coral rock. It looks pretty but would take a lot of hauling and placing of the rock from the shore.

This huge home is on the road to Ocean Reef.

The colours are out...the summer is coming. What a beautiful tree.

Tom Christian works for BASRA, Bahama Air Sea Rescue Association and he sells Ts and tanks and beer cozies, etc. as a fund raiser for BASRA. He hangs the clothes on his boat for people to see. What a great idea.

This is Suki, one of Ning Ning's little dogs. This is the mother of Jimmy and Carlos.

This is Elvis, the father of Carlos and Jimmy.

These are Carlos, Jimmy, Elvis and Freckles.

They are following Ning Ning to their boat, where they live with Ning Ning and Robert.

I sure enjoyed this book. I love reading.

Here you have the Three Mosquitoes on our way to town to shop. We had a lot of fun together, Diane, Ning Ning and Me.

Life at Ocean Reef...

This is Banana Bay Beach. We went to the restaurant here with Ann for some time on the beach and a bite to eat.

I took a picture of this before but I think it is so neat to see there that I took a picture of the fish with the Canadian flag painted on it again.

The restaurant at Banana Bay.

That beautiful turquoise water in the Bahamas and the white sand beach.

Ann and Chippie's backyard...she's got the pool full now. She put salt water in it this year.

This is a map of the Bahamas and coins from the Bahamas. Ann sells these at various stores around the Bahamas, at airports and in tourist areas. They are very beautiful.

A rainy day on The Swan.


It's laundry day. I wash the clothes in a bucket and then hang it out around the boat to dry.

The view of the canal from the back of our boat. If you turn left it takes you right out to the ocean.

Pics from Ingrid and Jonas, the couple from Sweden

It looks like a space ship inside. It's Jonas and Ingrid's boat. It is so awesome and it sailed all the way from Sweden to the USA. I'm so proud of you guys. Way to go!

Anthony and Jonas talking.

Ingrid and me, down below.

Anthony, enjoying his book on the back deck of our boat.

Looks like a Cruiser's Pot luck at Ocean Reef, Diane, Ning Ning, Robert, Hank, Tom, Anthony and me and we're on Ester's Patio.
