Back in paradise...that means Taravana. It was worth the trip from the west coast just to see the Virginians! It has been a bit chilly but nothing that a little of laughter and rum can't overcome. Yes, Alison's rum punch sister has arrived! It is beautiful here. The water is amazing. The sun is hot, the breezes cool and the rum is yum! Picked me up at the Conch Inn Marina on Sun. afternoon (thank you , First Lady), then off we went to Great Guana Cay. Dinghy ashore to Grabbers for a Grabber on the Rocks, then down the street and over to the ocean side to Nippers for a Nippers on the Rocks. The ocean was at least 20 different colors of blue and green - gorgeous. Then the moon came out and shone so brightly on the water, it was amazing. We had to dance to Van Morrison's What a Wonderful Night for a Moon Dance. I (Robin) saw Orion walking on the water - it was so clear. And what an amazing sunset that night!!! The next day we went to Green Turtle Cay - it was the most beautiful water we have seen thus far. Beautiful warm day, mooring in Black Sound. Had fun exploring New Plymouth. Conch fritters at The Wrecking Tree and Goombay Smashes at Miss Emily's Blue Bee Bar (couldn't find Gary's hat that he left 18 years ago). Back to the boat after Pineapple's was not open to grill hamburgers w/ Abaco buns (so sweet!) and then played Mexican Train. To bed early except me (Robin) who's still on west coast time. Finished books, good night's sleep. The next day, the girls dinghied ashore to take trash, go to grocery store, then nab some lobster tails and champagne for dinner!! Set sail for Fisher's Bay on Great Guana. Happy hour on board, then dinghied to Grabbers where we are now posting this blog... later... Here is a lesson for all you youngsters and oldsters... Cherish your friendships, they are priceless! :) Robin

I'm on my way. I should be there Friday afternoon. Hope there's still rum on the island.
