Bahamas

Fishin’ Two

March 15, 2014 by Julie Shipman

My last post on the Bahamas! Heading out of Government Dock, we hired Flocker to show us the waters. Flocker knows these seas having spent all of his 8 decades right here. His name was given to him as a schoolboy by his father. He told his Dad that while out on the boat, he saw a huge flock of fish go by! His Dad laughed and the name stuck. To this day, he is known by the locals as Flocker, even thought Dad passed years and years ago.

View of the North End of Harbour Island. Strong currents in the inlet where several have drifted out to the Atlantic…

Flocker… what a great smile!

And the fish come flocking in!  One after the other!  Little guys, we let them go.

Harbour Island… the town.

March 7, 2014 by Julie Shipman

Harbour Island doesn’t just have the phenomenal Pink Sand Beach, but also a quaint, friendly and very fun town! Most people drive their golf carts as there isn’t ever too far to go!  The Island is only 4 miles long and a mile across!  Interesting architecture reflects the British heritage while the bright colors scream Caribbean.  Roosters are everywhere.  No need for alarm clocks!

According to the sign, there's a lot of stuff in that little building!

The Most Beautiful Beach in the World

March 2, 2014 by Julie Shipman

I think I can die happy now.  I have seen the perfect beach, with perfect sand and perfect water.  Not a cloud in the sky. Not a beach vendor in sight. In fact, almost no one at all.  I had heard such places existed, but I was stunned they were so close to home. Harbour Island, Bahamas. Awesome.  I cannot wait to return.

Stunning, perfect beach.
