Finish with a Bang!

By on April 9, 2019 in aCappella

Today was (probably) the crew’s final trip to the beach here at Great Harbour Cay. Thursday is shaping up as the perfect day to leave for the Abacos and tomorrow is a walk day. Mom was looking forward to getting some final photos to remember the fun times we all had.

Dee Dee and Dora chased the bumper.

Dora put in a bit of coconut digging.

Dylan and Mom wander down the the beach and found a pyramid. It was looking to be the perfect end to our stay. Then all hell broke loose.

Mom heard a commotion and turned around to see the beach empty of the crew but Dad’s red shorts disappearing into the dunes way down the beach. She ran as fast as poor old Dylan could keep up. Turns out Dee Dee decided to run after a couple walking the beach and Dora somehow slipped her collar and joined in. Eventually, all dogs were corralled and beach time was over. The silver lining – Dee Dee and Dora were so tired they hardly pulled a bit on the way back. Dylan was dragging too.

Listen up girls, this better not be an omen for the rest of our time in the Bahamas…

“The most important thing in the world is family and love.”  – John Wooden

Blogging last week while we were on vacation was just too time consuming and I was having way too much fun playing with our grands, walking on the beach, swimming, listening to the waves from our amazing house and exploring. This week I’ll try and catch up on my posts and share a few more pictures of our wonderful adventure.

City Marina IJDok

By on April 8, 2019 in M/V Dirona

City Marina IJDok was an exceptional winter home for us. We were lucky to get a spot in the small marina in downtown Amsterdam that is an easy walk to the train station and countless restaurants and attractions. In addition to exploring the city and enjoying the Amsterdam Light Festival and the city’s extensive New…

Alligators?

Dylan encountered an alligator during his walk on the beach. He had no idea there were alligators in the Bahamas…

Mighty Happy Dogs

Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora sure love a dinghy ride. Just look at those faces!

Wasted Money?

By on April 6, 2019 in aCappella

Mom spends loads of money buying a variety of bumpers and other floating toys so the crew can have fun on the beach.

So what’s the favorite one? The old water bottle or flip flop or other floating trash that washes up on the beach. Sigh….

Big Sister, Little Sister

By on April 5, 2019 in aCappella

Dora is the little sister who wants to emulate her big sister, Dee Dee.

Dora really wants to follow Dee Dee into the waves but she’s missing that Lab gene.

Things usually go fine but occasionally there is a tussle requiring adult intervention. It would probably happen a lot less if Dora stopped biting Dee Dee’s ear…

Rough Seas

By on April 3, 2019 in aCappella

The past couple of days have been calm which always means boats leaving and boats coming as they take advantage of the weather window. Today the predictions were for the winds to increase.

The Red Head crew certainly saw rougher conditions at the beach this morning. That didn’t stop Dee Dee!

Playing Catch Up

By on April 2, 2019 in aCappella

Since Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora are skipping a beach day now and then, the crew can catch up on some favorites that haven’t made it into the blog.

Like Dora vs the coconut…

Greetings all! It has been twenty years since Roberta and I had a summer where we weren’t living on a boat. Sans Souci (our Nordhavn) sold quickly and our new boat won’t be delivered until next Spring. It feels strange being stuck on land. I regularl…
