Inquiring Lurkers Minds Want to Know., "What's up with the Island?"

My newest blog header was lifted is from a real estate company somewhere in the Bahamas. It's a fairly decent aerial view of "our island"-- Lubbers Quarters Cay nearer the southern end of the chain of Abacos islands in the Bahamas.

Pretty sweet, huh?

For many years our best friends Larry & Sharon have vacationed on various islands in the Bahamas. Their knowledge of these areas and waters, coupled with their desire to some day spend more time in warmer climates, got the men [especially] motivated to explore this once thought "snowball's chance in hell."

Of course it would take a couple "man trips" and exploring several islands before our hunter gatherers struck gold. "Oceanview," as it was named by the previous and only owner, is fast becoming the hideout home away from home that the four of us had only dreamed of owning.

After a long and sometimes tedious international land/home purchase we've only just begun to enjoy vacations at Oceanview. And so far it's been a vacation grab bag of sorts with mutual friends joining Larry & Sharon for their 25th wedding anniversary two years ago, or Larry and Sharon alone, or us and them. But I confess my favorite would be "the man trip" that Larry, Larry, and Wes have taken a few times now...well, it will have been my favorite until Saturday when Sharon & I meet up the husbands and spend a week together island heavily medicating ourselves with Kalik, Bahamian beer hopping!

There's so much more to say about this watery slice of heaven, but I need to cram more less than 4oz contraband into that ridiculous postage-stamp size baggy!

...And if you can stand to look, come back for photos of our "full moon at Cracker P's Bar & Grill" and any PG13 rated pics[as if!] of Bahama shenanigans!
