Stranded Naked....

Blogging has become a more and more sporadic thing. Since we aren't moving around as frequently as we were before, there haven't been many new things to share and even fewer photos.

Green Turtle has been a lot of fun to come back to. We've really enjoyed running into friends we met the first time around and meeting lots of new people. I feel that I can walk anywhere on the island and at least see 1 person that I've met. Everyone here is so friendly and accommodating, greeting you with a good morning/afternoon every time. On Saturday we went to Stranded Naked's Cheeseburger in Paradise Party. Stranded Naked is that house boat in one of my photo sets that traveled all the way from Florida and now resides in Green Turtle. They sponsor a big party in July every year to kick off the big Abaco regatta. Saturday they threw a party with cheeseburgers and rum punch to raise money for the Green Turtle Fire Department. Mainly tourists came out to enjoy the festivities, but there were a few locals there. Everyone made it a good time. They sold out of all their burgers almost right away, but I am not sure what the total came to be. I hope they raised as much as they were hoping to.

We've been spending the last few days lazing about on the boat. Dad threw his back out again somehow and has been in great pain. Therefore, we've decided to sit quiet until he feels better. I got sick the other day. A friend told us a stomach flu was going around the island. She got it and figures I got it hanging around with all of them somehow. I am feeling better, but we're still working on Dad.

Mom and I are talking about going to the beach today. We need to move around some. Another front is coming through, but we hope to be able to sail on Thursday. Upcoming is the Barefoot Man concert and we couldn't be more excited. It's at our favorite, Nippers, on Guana Cay. We are thinking we will have to get there early to get a mooring.

Good weather and happy sailing!
