March 15-18, 2016 New dinghy arrived and St. Patrick's Day Parade


our new to us dinghy is arriving in tow, back to Modaki,
this saved us a trip lugging the motor by land



this young Bahamian was very nice .. Joe tipped him for delivering it to us .. they use the motor as a seat, when driving


out with the old and


in with the new


celebrating , lobster for me


pork chops for Joe


the next day we took the dinghy back because of another leak, so we had to wait Bahamian
style for hours and hours … so next best thing is to visit Curly Tails on the upper deck for drinks, Modaki is now at anchor, that small boat just at the stern of the cat in the right


St. Paddys Day and Paper Bird and Unicorn drop in for a visit
on their way to the parade


the grand marshal of the parade, the one and only Barefoot Man … on left


the parade has started, see Joe at the bottom


the dark clouds did not stop the fun




Ray our favourite Marina Manager at Mangoes


the first stop is free beer at Sands








next was Jello Shooters at Wally's Restaurant


then in to Snappas, for rum punch .. all free
here we met Janis and Cam , Te Amor, from Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia


lots of free music


even the Bare Foot Man played a few songs, and invited everyone over to Guana Cay the next day
for a free concert on Friday and paid on Saturday




our friends in Escape Velocity, Finola and Harry .. we seem to be traveling some what together this
year, we met in the Exumas, Spanish Wells, Abaco's… good friends from last year also




we decided to escape the wind parties and moved to outside
Hope Town for the night


Elbow Cay Lighthouse to our bow


still lots of maintenance on the boat, the BBQ was falling apart and Joe bought new brackets, see
back of picture .. all fixed up again


this picture got missed …
it is Bill and Lauren, on Sea Star, they are from Meaford, Ontario, their Neice and Nephew flew in
for a visit …
