- Elbow Cay, Abaco, Bahamas
- April 2002
From Ft Lauderdale we flew on a small commuter to Abaco where we took a taxi to Aubury's ferry dock to board the ferry which took us to Hope Town, Elbow Cay. Upon arriving at Hope Town marina on of the marina crew gave us a ride in an 18' Boston Whaler to West View, the cottage we rented for our stay. We had our rental boat delivered that day, a 21' center console with a Bimini top. This was our mode of transportation for the rest of our trip. Traveling from Cay to Cay in our rented boat checking out the villages and beaches on each island from Great Guana Cay to the north to Sandy Cay to the south. Had a really great time, definitely a vacation on the water.

rent a boat to get around in the Cays.
