The cook is a guy named Sean. He just started this spring. I've been flogging away(as my wife says) since 2000. I go back to two line wipka's and a lot of prayer.

Treasure Cay, Hopetown, Green Turtle and Guana Cay all have great beaches and orientation to take advantage of any wind direction. Just watch out for the "cruisers". I'm sure you guys get them in Nassau. I have always believed they can't swim as fast as I can sail....right.

Contacted Niel Hutchinson to see if we could put together a Bahamian Team for the Bimini race. Seems like it has been put off. Any interest in a team race from Sandy Point to Nassau? I bet Ministry of Tourism would be interested.

The two times I was over there in the summer the wind wasn't on. It looks like the riding would be insane there during frontal season through. You have so many launches, flat water and wave spots. I feel like hoping a plane this afternoon!

Small world, we visited the UW Park and Guana on one day and I stopped by the shop. I told him about this site, hope he is progressing well.

Riding in the Abacos since 2000, that adds new meaning to the term "Lone Ranger." Bet you have had some great rides.

AJ, that hurts! Look again, there was a response at:

Let me know what you have in mind and we'll try to put something together. You have an excellent venue.
