Over the last couple of months, I have continued to run up and down the Abacos.  Gradually, things are picking up again and I'm beginning to see more cruisers arrive.  I've been anchored at Green Turtle Cay again for about a week.  New Plymouth, the settlement on this island has a more pronounced sense of community and the locals have been much more inviting to me and willing to show me around.  Not that the other settlements are much the opposite, but for whatever reason I feel much more accepted here.

Brian and his wife Caroline, owners of Sundowners bar/restaurant here in New Plymouth have been particularly gracious and have treated me to many meals, drinks and opportunities for me to get local knowledge about fishing, good areas to anchor, etc.  It goes without saying these experiences are somewhat rare and worth every minute.  Won't be forgetting these folks any time soon.
