This is still the spring of 2011.  This is Rosie and her granddaughter Hunter.  We're sailing on Rosie and Claus' boat, "Gypsy Rose".

Hunter sailing.



Grandpa Claus, Grandma Rosie and Hunter.


The front of my kayak and my big toes.



Hank in action.


Last year we played tennis almost everyday at 8:30.  I love the exercise and the game.


Some tourists rented some kayaks and got into a kayak jam on the canal so I took a picture of it while we were kayaking by in our kayak.


The sea wall along the canal that goes to Ocean Reef.


The back of the Swan.  The five solar panels are above the aft deck.  Anthony made a swimming platform on the back to make it easier to get in and out of the dinghy and the kayak.  He made it when we were back in Toronto.

Beautiful flower at the Rand National Park.



They are wooden carvings.



The viewing deck in the Rand.


Orchids at the Rand.


We're cooking at Hawksbill Yacht Club again.  Anthony cutting bread for garlic toast.


Johnny's the chef this time.  It's vegetarian spaghetti, Caesar salad, and garlic toast, yummmmm.


What a handsome guy!


Bohdan chopping lettuce for the Caesar Salad.


People mulling around the bar at Hawksbill Yacht Club.


Rita is helping us in the kitchen.


Edna helped us too.


It's veryyyyy hot in the kitchen.


What a pair, Bohdan and Johnny.


Shrimp and ground beef to add to the spaghetti.


Is it Hank?  I must be out lobster fishing with Hank.  I snorkeled and he speared lobster.


Rosie and me.


Ummmm, White Crane.  I'll have to look it up in the bird book for the full, proper name.


Anthony kayaking.


Me taking a picture of me.  Most of the pictures of me are self-portraits.  Aren't my glasses great!  I bought them to embarrass my kids, Sarah and Kate.

Hunter, boat, swimming, friends....March 2011


Still old pics, March 2011, last spring.  Anthony up the mast checking the VHF radio antenna.


Tom, with my reading glasses on and Boh.


Hank, Bohdan and Anthony playing at Hawksbill Yacht Club.


Anthony and Doris.  Anthony is wearing a shirt that Doris batiked and made.  She is sooooo talented.


I loved this painting.


I really enjoyed reading these books.  I am anxious to see the movie from them.


Anthony modeling one of Doris' shirts.


Chris modeling one of Doris' shirts.


Doris modeling a skirt she made.


Hausa wearing a blouse that Doris designed and batik ed.  Hausa is Doris and Chris' youngest daughter.


Anthony up the Mast again.  We brought a bunch of antenna wire to fix the VHF this year.  It works but not far enough or as far as it should, probably only one mile.


I think this is Sea Swan, Taffey's boat.  He stays at Ocean Reef too.  He's from Port Credit.


Annie's coin set.


Annie's coin and map set.  She puts them together and sells them in Nassau, Freeport, Port Lucaya and other places too.


Rosie and Claus at Monday Night Madness at Groupers Bar and Grill.


Hunter and me.  Hunter is Rosie and Claus' granddaughter.  We got along really well and biked all over the place and did French homework together.


Tom the Pirate.  This is the outfit he wore for the Pirates of the Caribbean with Johnny Depp.


Watch out for that knife.


A picture of a picture of Tom from the movie.


Bohdan and Johnny.


Sharon and Diane.


Hunter and another boating friend.


Looks like a potluck.  Mac and Cheese is very popular in the Bahamas.


Hunter and me.


Sea Swan.


Taffey sailing on Sea Swan.


Santy fishing on the Swan of Tuonela.


A timeshare friend of ours came fishing with us too.


A container ship waiting to go into Freeport Harbour.  It's huuuuuggge...


Nancy, she works with Santy at Ross University.


Hunter.


Erica Gates and her husband has a business here called Island Adventures and the have a fleet of jeeps that people can rent and go on a tour of the Island with.


My main mode of transportation on the Island.



This is the cross at the Presbyterian Church that I attended last year.  Haven't gone this year yet but will soon.


It's full moon and when that happens the tide is realllly low and realllllly high.  Look how low the Swan is compared to the dock.  It's way down there.


We went swimming when we went out sailing.


Anth in the cockpit.
