I have to say I was mostly loving the internet here at Treasure Cay.  Except for during and  after the power outage its been pretty strong.  It may be our new pepwave slurper(modem?), but the last three posts have been from here with no problem uploading pictures.  Of course once I wrote this, I spent an hour trying to get pictures up with not much luck.  Finishing up from Orchid Bay Marina on Great Guana Cay.

 

Coming in to Treasure Cay some of the faster boats stopped to take on fuel.  We should be good until Marsh Harbor.

At Treasure Cay we got our first look at Bruce in his favorite hat.  It was clear he was attached to it and it will be a regular part of the cruise once we asked about the hat.

Coco’s Beach Bar was on our list of the best beach bars in the Abacos, so off we went to try out their Saturday luau menu with real Hawaiian items like lomi lomi and kalua pig.  The Tipsy Splash was the hit of the night (any thing with that much rum has to be good).  The food was not much of a hit, though.

Exploring our last day we found another bar on this beach at a new condo complex with much better food and at better prices.  Bahama Beach Bar in the Royal Poinciana condos.  They even had free kayaks and paddle boards to use.  Unfortunately, the don’t take cash or AMEX so we didn’t try out their pina coladas (two for one special) on our return trip to snorkel.

Night time view at Treasure Cay, we caught Phil fishing and saw three squid in his light, they may have been drawn by his squid lure.  The next day a crew went out on a fishing charter and Sharon caught a couple big ones.

Phil and Pat loaned us the golf cart they rented and we took a tour of Treasure Cay.  Very nice.

 

We saw a lot of nice houses on our tour, but this was my favorite a compound of several structures all with thatched roofs.

On our list of the best beach bar so far with a pool and hot tub too.  The owner is seated at the table behind us.  He was also originally from Detroit and here on his boat.

 

In trying to come up with meals that would be appetizing in high heat and something different for entertainment value, I was intrigued with the idea of a kebab grill.   Everyone was a good sport at having to construct and cook their own meal from the ingredients we provided.

Finally, the Tipsy Seagull bar had a tradition of leaving your mark, so of course, we had to make ours.  Elise volunteered to replicate the club burgee and we cajoled her into even including the dolphin.  Nice job.  Look for it if you get to Treasure Cay.

We shred the dock and resort with a fun group.  They were here to celebrate Mark’s birthday and seemed to have a blast.
