They say the beach here at Treasure Cay has been voted one of the top ten most beautiful
beaches in the world. I'm not going to disagree with them. We have been walking the three
mile beach here the past few days and are in awe of what God has created. The sand is very
soft and white and since this is a slow time of year here we've had the beach to ourselves for
the most part. The water is a combination of blue and turquoise and very clear.
We were headed to Marsh Harbor the other day and got sidetracked over to here. I understand
this is quite common in the Abacos. You start heading for somewhere and the winds are more
favorable to go a different direction so you change destinations based on the weather. There
are many places to visit, all of them great so you don't plan very far in the future. You just
chill, Mon.
Treasure Cay has a great place to anchor, very protected so we've been here the last four days
enjoying the great pool, local bakery for fresh cinnamon buns and bread and the beach. Oh, yeah
and we needed to have our freezer worked on. It just wasn't working all that well so a local
man was recommended to us. It turned out to be the cousin of the dockmaster, which had all
the makings of being a disaster but instead turned out to be a special blessing. Javado was
very prompt (unheard of in the Bahamas), very knowledgeable, gracious and inexpensive.
Our friends had him fix their freezer at the same time so we are all happy boaters again.
The marina charges ten dollars a day to anchor out and for that you get the use of their bath
facilities, pool, beach, wifi, and dinghy dock. The bakery and grocery store are a very short walk
away. We may stay at the marina dock for a month because they have a really special rate right
now. Apparently March is when it gets really busy here.
Our first day here we were visited by a big sea turtle which was pretty awesome.
Tomorrow we'll probably head out for Great Guana Cay for a pig roast and a visit to Nippers,
a popular local spot.

A great way to start the day with local cinnamon rolls.
