As we moved north after our week in Georgetown, we thought a stopover at Lee Stocking Island, the site of the abandoned Marine Research Center, would be interesting since it had been a few years since our last visit. Not much has changed, there are new, larger “No Trespassing- Keep Off” signs that are largely […]

Meet Hartmut Scholl

Not much has changed, there are new, larger “No Trespassing- Keep Off” signs that are largely […]
To the Abacos!
The Red Head crew pulled anchor at first light and headed for the Abacos.The trip was a bit more lumpy than predicted. So Dad sat with Dora who immediately climbed onto his lap. Spoiled girl…
Exploring Eleuthera
“Families are the compass that guides us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights and our comfort when we occasionally falter.” – Brad Henry
One afternoon when the little ones were resting Stan, Eric and I went exploring. Our first stop was Hatchet Bay Caves. These caves are located on the western side of Queen’s Highway, just outside of the Hatchet Bay settlement…easy to find, just enter the name into your Waze app. It’s the most extensive cave system discovered on Eleuthera, extending about 1100 feet underground, with over a mile of twisting passages. We didn’t have the right kind of footwear for the adventure, so we didn’t venture in very far in. We weren’t too impressed with what we saw, but fun to see something a little different. The area is rumored to have been a favorite playground for pirates…maybe there are buried treasures in the cave.
So Long GHC!
Today Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora left their beloved Great Harbour Cay. There’s a lot the crew will miss.
Top on their list is good buddy, Mico, who came to see them off. Don’t worry the crew will be back. For now they’re off to new adventures in the Abacos.

Tomorrow is still looking like a good day to leave Great Harbour Cay and head to the Abacos. The Red Head crew has much more exploring to do. How will Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora remember their time here?Like this…
Spring 2019 Commissioning
We are happy to be back aboard Idyll Time. Our 3300 mile cross country RV trip went well. We crossed off two National Parks from our bucket list, Hot Springs in Arkansas and Arches in Moab Utah. The highlight of our trip was a week spent along the Oregon Coast. We enjoyed some great hiking […]
April 1 – Governor’s Harbour, Eleuthera
“You go through life wondering what is it all about but at the end of the day it’s all about family.” – Rod Stewart
Our first full day in Eleuthera was spent shopping for supplies, playing in the pool and relaxing at Cocodimama Beach. Our Grands and their Momma’s spent the morning at the neighborhood pool, while the rest of us went into Governor’s Harbour to look around and go to the grocery store…it takes a lot of food to keep 10 people happy.
