The Abacos

In Atlantis, Nassau.
Here we are in the bar again!  Daryl looking like a rabbit in the headlights, having been told to 'open his eyes'!
Simon is trying yet another cocktail, before flying back to England the next day.
It was sad to see Val and Simon leave, but hope they will be back for more sometime.

The Aquariums at Atlantis were absolutely fabulous, with a huge selection on fish, including the huge and graceful manta rays, sharks etc. all in huge numbers.

Never one to miss a party!  Joining in with the parade through the Atlantis Marina.

The best way to look around these islands is by golf cart, it's great to able to see and hear what's going on, but keep cool at the same time.

The day we were there happened to be election day in the Bahamas.  All the shops were closed and the locals were out in force promoting their party, driving golf carts and shouting out the name of their party to anyone that was listening.
Apparently the Progressive Liberal Party won the day, ( the yellow team) and we loved that 'No Rehearsal' was dressed in the colour of the winners!

Pete's Bar in Little Harbour is a great place to chat to other cruisers over a  rum punch or two.    Hung from the roof are hundreds of old T shirts and odd bits of memorabilia that have been left by passing yachts and their crew. 

Next to the bar, there is an art gallery and most of the sculptures are made of bronze which is cast in the foundry just down a sandy path.  So we went along to watch a pouring.  As if the temperature was not warm enough, the heat inside was extreme and the poor guys were covered in fire-proof overalls too.
