Location And Age

[FATCAT]

I thought it would be interesting to know where people are from and their age. I hope I not beeing to intrusive. I'm 38 from Lafayette,La

[BahamaAngie]

Hi Fat Cat!

I am 64 and from Toms River, NJ. I have a daughter your age! But Abaco is definitely a place for ALL ages to enjoy!

Angie

[abacomah]

I am over 50http://coconuttelegraph.net/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif and my oldest is not 38.....only 32!!!!
From Chapin, SC on Lake Murray
I love all the Cays but have stayed on Treasure (most) Elbow and Guana
First trip - 1988 at the old hotel on Treasure!!!!!

[dogfish]

Abacomah,
This world just keeps getting smaller. My family used to belong to the Lake Murray Sailing Club in Chapin. I spend all of my summer weekends on the lake racing lasers and thistles from 1979 to 1981.

BahamaAngie, I went to college at Rutgers and met my wife at Point Pleasant NJ. I have a couple of good friends that are your daughter's age from Tom's River (Sue Horning and Lee Sermarini (sp?)).

I am 38 today and will be 39 tomorrow.

[abacomah]

Hey Doug, two outta three..that is amazing....where are you now, NJ, SC or somewhere in between!!!! I'll be really jealous if you say permanently located in Abaco

[TheKurp]

I'm 48 years old. Spent almost all of my youth and early 20's growing up in St. Thomas. Visited the Abacos for the first time this past April/May. Definitely won't be my last trip.

[P2Pooz]

I am 51, graduated from Titusville (Florida) High School in 1973 (Dad worked on the Apollo Program at the Cape). He got transferred to Boulder, CO and I have lived here since 1975. Mark and I have 2 kids.... Erin is 26 and Dominic "Tony" is 23.

[P2Pooz]

And... Happy Birthday Doug!

[dogfish]

ABACOMAH,
I wish I lived on a sailing cat somewhere in the sea of abaco, but I now live in Wellington Florida. I still tell my kids about the 3 years I lived in SC and how during that time I never swam in a pool unless I was in Florida on a vacation. We spent a ton of time swimming in lakes and had no interest in a pool.

-Doug

[riss]

[Jersey Girl]

I am 53 years old. My husband has been traveling to Treasure Cay since 1977, my daughter and I since 1998. We are from Branchville, NJ

[NeedH2O]

32, Annapolis, MD (by way of Mississippi)
Favorite Cay - Lubber's
First trip to Abaco I was 23(?) go about once a year or so now

[momshell]

I am 37 and live in Atlanta, Georgia. Currently building a new home, so living temporarily on a horse and Pumpkin Farm- my kids are in heaven!!! The Fall should be really neat with the pumpkin farm festivities and hayrides, etc.

Lubbers is our favorite cay, but we own some property on Tilloo and hope to build a home there in the next few years and make it our new favorite.

[Sandalman]

I am 45,the wife and I live in Middleboro Massachusetts,next town over from Plymouth.
We were lucky enough to have inlaws married at Nippers beach back in 2002 and try
to get back to Guana any chance we can.Going back in the spring.Waiting to hit Megabucks like everyone else so we can be the new neighbors on the island!

[Pappysland]

I'm 61 and we live in Anacortes, WA., about 80 miles north of Seattle Wa. I'm originally from Massachusetts tho'. First visit was in 1956 to Man-O-War when my parents bought property on Dickie's Cay and built a small house. Love it there and we now spend our winters there. Our 2 children and their spouses also love it and vacation there whenever they can! I'd love to know how the family from Vancouver, BC, found their way to Abaco!

[Wonkee]

I'm 28 live in Olathe KS. have been visiting Abaco for 25 yrs. First trip was for a family wedding, Lived there for 3yrs and I must say "The Place to be is Cherokee" After I complete my plot to take over the world I plan on settling home in Abaco but until then I visit as often as possible.

[HALF-A-HAMIAN]

My first visit was in October, 1951 and split growing up between Cherokee Sound and Kansas City, Kansas. We have six kids (that's why we're not living on Abaco yet), two sons-in-law and five grandkids with the addition of twin boys born this morning at 10:59, and all are eagerly awaiting me and Grandma getting ourselves settled on Abaco so they can move back in with us! We're hoping the Lord treats us well real soon and allows the move. Waiting is sure stressful!

[P2Pooz]

Congrats on the twin Grandbabies Half-a-hamian! Isn't life grand?

[riss]

I'd love to know how the family from Vancouver, BC, found their way to Abaco!
My in-laws hail from eastern Ontario, and are second home owners in Abaco for about 10 years now, that is how i became introduced to paradise on earth

[rudy2262]

Hi Fat Cat!

I am 64 and from Toms River, NJ. I have a daughter your age! But Abaco is definitely a place for ALL ages to enjoy!

AngieI have a friend i went to school with her and her family were from Tom's River (the infantinos).

I'm 25 years old and from Levittown, New York. It is on long island. About two hours west of Montauk, and 40 minutes east of the city, and 15 minutes from Jones Beach.

i will be making my first trip to the bahamas in the end of April for my honeymoon....to hopetown

[RI BLUES]

well, I am 43, husband 55, 2 kids and live in Charlestown Rhode Island. I spent 6 years in my early 20's living on St.Croix, USVI. We visited Abaco in June and stayed on Elbow at Gully's Nest....loved it. I still have other islands to explore but Abaco is on top of my list for now.

[gazeboman]

57 chronologically, 27 in my mind! Central Wisconsin, Lived in the Fl Keys for 10 years where I got to know the abacos in the early 80's. Stayed on lubbers, elbow, little harbor, man-o-war, treasure, & Guana. Favorite is Guana. favorite drink is a tie between a blaster & Nipper juice, favorite event is barefoot. Love a lazy afternoon at pete's with blasters, fresh dolphin, & good company! Countdown is 218 to two weeks on guana

[BahamaAngie]

Dogfish, We have lived our entire lives in NJ. Originally from North Jersey and down here for 33 years. I have a niece that lives in Point Pleasant. I just asked my daughter if she knew your friends and she said no. Toms River is a very large town, We have 3 public high schools and a Catholic High School.

My kids, went to Montclair, Monmouth and Stockton. My youngest went to Johnson and Wales in RI.

We first started visiting TC in 2001 and got hooked. Were traveling to Hawaii before that and quite honestly couldnot find a beach we liked as much as TC. Have only stayed on that cay. Prior we use to go to Paradise Island. No comparison, Abaco is much better!

[Coolstr85]

im 20 and from Atlanta, Georgia. made my first trip to guana for fourth of july 2005 and have been 4 times since. truly my most favorite place in the world. january for new years will be my 5th time over.

[TurtleDreams]

Can't say I'm under 50...Our first trip was to Saga Point in White Sound on Elbow in 1999. Great House! Since then we've stayed on Lubbers, Tilloo, & Green Turtle; loved them all but Green Turtle is the best for us. Just finished our house there this spring. Hope to be back Oct or Nov. We, my husband and two sons live in VT, but I can't wait until I can spend the winters on Green Turtle Cay!

[JJ]

I am 48 and live near Orlando in Longwood, FL, with husband and three kids. I am originally from the FL panhandle (Ft. Walton Bch). We have three daughters, ages 18, 15, and 13. I brought the 18 yr old home today from her first semester at Univ. of Florida (Go Gators!) so our money is going there right now instead of trips to Abaco :( . My husband and I traveled to Man O War and Treasure Cay in the late 80's. We went back for the first time with the kids in 2000 to Green Turtle Cay and that has become our favorite cay. We have also stayed on Guana.


And to whoever it was who hails from Chapin, SC, I have cousin who lives there in a neighborhood on Lake Murray.

[mckc]

I'm 24 from Lenexa, KS. My first trip to abaco will be april 2007 for my honeymoon! I'm so excited from just reading these forums the past week or so. I can't stop dreaming of what it will be like from reading your stories and seeing your pictures!

[big fish]

I'm 57 (wow), can't be really, can it? Used to go to the Florida Keys every winter for 14 years, until I decided to check out the Bahamas. Went online to check it out, and guessed that I might be able to run my 25 CC boat across to Abaco. We drag the boat from Windham NH to Jupiter FL right after Christmas, and cross to Abaco for the winter. We rent houses either on Lubbers or in Hope Town. We have bought land on Lubbers and hope to build as soon as possible. Peg and I were married in Hope Town in March this year. As you may know from my web name, I love to fish.

[Omoo]

I'm 49 and grew up in Iowa but came to Melbourne to go to FIT and never left. Actually I live in Indian Harbour Beach which is across the river from Eau Gallie (north Melbourne to the uninformed) Karen and I are planning our first visit to celebrate our 25th anniversary in January.

[Sally]

I am 50 & my husband is 55. We love the Abacos best of all. No place on earth like it. We are from Edgewater, Fl. About 20 min. south of Daytona Beach.

[Sarge]

I am 49 and my husband is 58. We are from Baker Street, London, England. We first heard of the Abacos from our friends, Penny & Richard Hewitt who have a house on Guana. We have stayed at Lubbers several times and Marsh Harbour and are looking to buy at Treasure Cay - can't afford Guana or Elbow, sadly!

[AbacoAngie]

I am 42, sweet husband is 56. We live in Cocoa, Florida by way of Maryland. We were married on Tahiti Beach on September 14, 1998 by Vernon Malone. Right after the ceremony, the skies opened and it rained cats and dogs. On our first anniversary, Floyd paid a visit.

Our favorite cay is Lubbers. Would love to live there - maybe after we hit the Lotto!

[tmccaffery]

I am 52, my lovely wife is 48. We and our two children (6 & 10) live in Alexandria, VA. I first sailed in the Abacos in either 1969 or 1970.

[PatW]

If you run into Penny and Richard please give them a huge hug from Pat & Sidney on Guana Cay! We miss them terribly!

[dkatwdsd]

My husband and I are in our mid-50s. His father's parents are from Hopetown. We took his father back there some years ago and it was amazing. He found his mother (my husband's grandmother) in one of the old class pictures from the school in the museum. We love Hopetown best. We were last there in May 2005 to celebrate our 34th anniversary. Our gift to each other was a lot on Tilloo Cay but we haven't started building yet. Still working hard here in Kentucky to earn the money! We have two kids who also love Abaco. We love this board!

[hamamamax3]

i am 41 and my first trip was in 1991. my 3 kids, 17, 10, 5 have been visiting hopetown every year since. i have asked them if they would like to go somewhere else - disney, italy, another island. i always receive a resounding "NO!! we have to go to hopetown!" it is like their second home. if only i could find a second home there that could accomodate the 8 of us - new husband, his 2 kids and my mom. obviously i am from pittsburgh and a die hard steeler fan.

[Charlotte Couple]

I'm 51 and my wife is 48. You may be able to guess where we live (Charlotte, NC). We first visited Man-O-War with our daughter after reading an article about it in the local newspaper in 1985, and we loved it. It took us 10 years to get back there, but we've been regular visitors ever since.

[SCMatt]

We live in an area (Charleston County, SC) that must have the highest concentration of Abaco fans in the Country. I've been to Nippers and had it look like a party in Charleston given the number of neighbors we encountered there. I am 43 and my wife is 41 and we have a 13 year old and a 10 year old. One of the many special things about these islands is that they seem to attract like minded people who, regardless of their hometown, share this wonderful approach to life. That "approach" means seeking a destination that requires you be a true participant, rather than merely an observer and "room service" patron, and treating the strangers you meet along the way as potential new friends rather than competitors for a spot in the buffet line.

Stay at (or "stand in line at") the Atlantis on Paradise Island and you'll know what I mean (or in Cancun or Orlando or Vegas or...)

We love and stay on MOW but I'm happy to be standing on any of these great islands. MOW is nicely located for visiting in every direction but we need to explore a bit further north to New Plymouth sometime soon.

[buddha cat]

My husband Ken and I divide time between Raleigh, NC and Hobucken, a little fishing village on Goose Creek Island, located in the Pamlico Sound (mainland side of the sound...40 miles west of Ocacroke) sometimes referred to as "the Inner Banks". We are 40 and 47, and we hope eventually divide time between Hobucken and the Abacos. I first visited in 1998 for a friend's 40th birthday, brought my husband to Abaco (Lubbers) the next Christmas, and we celebrated Ken's 40th last October on Lubbers. As soon as we can sell our lot in the 4WD area of the Outer Banks, we hope to purchase a piece of sand in the Abacos. We love island life and everything that goes with it!

[DaGoose]

Rick & I are from Vista California which is about 30 miles north of San Diego and about 8 miles inland. We love to be out on the water fishing and had previously gone to Baja or Hawaii. When we stumbled upon Abaco on the net last summer, we knew it was the place for us! We celebrated my 50th birthday (Rick's 46-yep, I got myself a younger man!) and our 10th anniversary this past March on Lubbers. It was our first, but definitely not last, trip. We'll be there in April or May for 2 weeks and maybe even earlier in November! It's a long trip from San Diego but so worth it. IMHO nothing in Baja or Hawaii can compare to the Abaco water and beaches.

well, I guess I win for being the youngest??

[It'lldo]

you are younger than me but no way the youngest to reply to this thread Henz, read through the entire thread. :p
We are 43 and in Orlando (College Park) FL,



well, I guess I win for being the youngest??

[RickNJen]

I'm 44 and Jen is slightly less. We live in Rockledge, FL, and got engaged at the Abaco Inn in 1999, run out of there by near-miss Huriicane Dennis that week, and a few weeks later Floyd visited the Abacos. ouch. Been back twice since then, and ready to go back!

[Henz]

Ah! beat out by Wonkee & a few others! a 25 year old..Guess i am gettin on in age myself.

[BahamaAngie]

DaGoose, we were going to Hawaii for about five years and discovered TC and felt the same way that there was no beach on Maui, Kauai, Big Island or Oahu that compared. Our friends that we use to go with think we are crazy but than again they were never to Abaco. They feel as there would not be enough to do as they like to go for 2 months. We would do Hawaii for about 5 - 7 weeks and there is a lot more to do but that color of the water is so intriguing it keeps calling you to return!

[Capt. Tom]

I am 60 and live in Boynton Beach, Fl. Have been going over since 1970 when I sailed on my Crazy Uncle's 37 Piver tri. A lot has changed since then.
I have been going over on my own boat a couple of times a year since 1978. My son(18) now considers Abaco, especially Man O War, his second home. My wife flys over when we are there and especially enjoys our friends in MOW.

i believe so far i am winning for being the youngest. at age 20. guess you missed my earlier post. :D i do know of at least one person on this board who is younger than me though. but ill wait until she posts it for herself.

I'm 70 and have been coming to Hope Town for 28 years.

[lemartin87]

This past July was my first trip to Guana but i have been on the board for several months before that. This board has been a great help and everyone is so nice. Thanks for everyones help. I cant wait to come back!

[momshell]

As far as age goes, its not the years, its the mileage.......

[Sunchaser]

I am 60, have been going to Abaco 12 years. We have homes in Morehead City and Harkers Island, NC. Also have a cute little home in Port St. Lucie, FL that we rent out in the winter to lucky snow birds.....

[Charlotte Couple]

Sounds like there are a lot of folks from NC that we've never seen at the Carolinas Board Meetings. All are welcome to join us. We even have folks from GA and FL attend regularly. Also noticed several from the Outer Banks area. We have a vacation home in Buxton, so maybe we'll run into some Abacophiles during one of our visits there.

good you posted. you where the girl i was reffering to in my earlier post. i knew you were younger than me.

[seabiscuit]

i am 49 and my husband is 54. i've been going to green turtle cay since 1969 and am truly blessed to own a home there. we live in thonotosassa, florida (near tampa). we spend close to 5 months a year in gtc, mostly in the summer. we had travelled extensively for the first 15 years of our marriage but never found a place we liked as much as the abacos, so we were extremely happy to finally own a piece of paradise. the visual beauty of the abacos is only topped by the wonderful people who live there.

[sjohnson4382]

i'm 24 and from aiken,sc.(just across the river from the masters in augusta,ga) Its amazing the number of south carolinians that have found the secret of the abacos.

[lbud]

I`m 57 Love`s 48, We started Bahamas cruising 22 years ago together on power boats at Cat cay area mostly but 5 years ago we started venturing farther afield Love ABACO!!!!!! Oh Yeah we moved 3 weeks ago into a new home on Little Lake Harris in Tavares Fl. FAT-N-SASSY AKA lbud

I am 45 and my husband is 50. I am from Baton Rouge and my Husband is from Iowa, Louisiana. We brought a boat and moved to the Abaco's.

[FATCAT]

First I would like to thank everyone for the tremendous response. I'm 38 and I'm married to a AWSOME woman who is 31. Our first trip to Abaco was in 2003. We have been back every year since. We love all the Cay's but prefer Guana. We absolutely love the Anchorage house. The view from the porch is awsome and the location is perfect. We love to find deserted cay's and just veg out and recharge.

I Am 49 And Live In Riviera Shores Fl. Next To The Lake Park Marina , Palm Beach County. We Have Been Coming To Treasure Cay Since 1969 . My Parents Built A Home In Treasure Cay In 73.

[JRH]

I have been stuck on my 29th birthday for 15 years!!! My husband is the same age. We have been to Abaco three times since 2002. We have a potcake we brought home our first visit named Coconut. We are from Greenville SC.

We love Abaco. To us each Cay has its own qualities and I cannot name a favorite. But I know I feel like I am home when I am there. My husband said I must have been a potcake in a prior life!!

[mjrmarlin]

My wife & I are both 51 and have been enjoying Abaco for the past 15 years. We are currently living in the mountains of western North Carolina and are trying to finalize a plan that allows us more island time on our favorite cay, Lubbers.
Wish us luck,
Laboring on Lubbers

[Cathy Arizona]

My husband and I are both 58 and live in Holbrook, Arizona (next to the Petrified Forest). I'm originally from Spokane & Seattle, he's from Pennsylvania. First visited Hope Town 12 years ago and have been returning ever since along with our kids and now our grandchildren. We spend most of our time on Elbow but just bought land at Bahama Palm Shores. Since we discovered Abaco we haven't spent much time in our cabin in the mountains of Durango, Colorado. Once we build at BPS we hope to spend a couple months a year in Abaco. Are there any other Abacophiles from Arizona?
We see who is the youngest but who admits to being the oldest?

[Nebraska Buckeye]

New to the forum, but have been reading for weeks. I'm 25. Hubby is 27 and we are located in Omaha, NE. I moved here from Easley, SC (outside of Greenville). Nice to see so many fellow South Carolinians! First went to Elbow Cay in 1998. We are planning to return in June 2007 as a family surprise for my mom's 50th birthday.

This forum is great! I've learned a lot and everyone is very helpful.

[islanddad]

I`m 57 Love`s 48, We started Bahamas cruising 22 years ago together on power boats at Cat cay area mostly but 5 years ago we started venturing farther afield Love ABACO!!!!!! Oh Yeah we moved 3 weeks ago into a new home on Little Lake Harris in Tavares Fl. FAT-N-SASSY AKA lbud
Still south of 50, but closing fast. I live near Orlando - my love is younger than I - and lives on Little Lake Harris!!! Have spent time in Eleuthera, Freeport, Nassau but highly prefer Abacos. Been going to GTC for 30+ years and each time seems like the 1st. (Can't wait to get there - never want to leave!) Darling daughters love it there as well and I now have a new granddaughter to introduce to conchs & bugs soon. Great thread.

[Boca Sharon]

I'm 51, my husband Bobby is 53. We came to Elbow in 1985 with another couple and fell in love with all of it! We returned and discovered Fran's Fancy (we were the first renters in the "new house" when it was completed). We live in Boca Raton, FL (duh!!) by way of Flemington, NJ and both of us were raised in Bergen County, NJ - River Edge & Leonia. We brought our 2 daughters now 15 & 13 to Fran's Fancy 4 years ago and have been back 2 more times with them and a niece as well.

[Nancy H]

My love and I are 58. We are from Va. Beach, VA but built a home in Suffolk, VA (home of Planters Peanuts) – a little more country than Va. Beach. I am retired and he has 3 years 9 months to go (for the second time) but who’s counting. We learned about Abaco from a friend 10 years before making our first trip there in 2002. Our third trip was this past May. We stay on Eastern Shores, MH and rent the same house each time and love it – guess you could say we are creatures of habit. When talking with a neighbor about our vacation she told me that her brother is building a rental, Barefoot Bay on Tahiti Beach – small world in surprising Suffolk. I love this board and post on occasion. I need to write a trip report with pictures –I’m way past due on that one. I notice a few folks on this board are from the Outer Banks. We are headed there next week for our annual family vacation – we love OBX too!! Next trip I’m thinking about trying out one of the other cays so I have been saving info on other rentals from these posts as references.

[NextaSea]

My husband and I are 48 years young. We have 2 children 24 & 21. We are from a small town near Bethany Beach Delaware. We took our first vacation to Elbow 14 years ago and fell in love with the area. Once or twice every year we would return to explore and enjoy such a beautiful and peaceful place. We discovered Lubbers a couple years after our first trip and bought land in 1999. We just finished our home on Lubbers mid summer, what excitment. Now we will return in November not only to enjoy our home on Lubbers but to the excitment of our daughter's wedding on the beach behind the church on Elbow.

[edfox]

I am 62.
I live in Lafayette, IN

I have been going to MH since 1988

[Kathrine]

We are 47 and 48 and the first and only time we visited the Abacos was in 2001 when we spent the winter there on our sailboat. We're returning in October for 10 days and we look forward to exploring once again! We're from Oxford, North Carolina; it's interesting that we have so many North Carolinians on this board!

[Abaco Dreaming]

[Cathy Arizona]

Boca Sharon,
We've been staying at Fran's Fancy since about 1994. Love it and especially since they put up the gazebo and hammock on the dock. Last December we finally met the owner while waiting for the Hope Town ferry. I recognized him from the picture that used to be in the house. That December trip we stayed for the first time near Marsh Harbour just to try something different. Isn't FF a great place to stay? Our grandchildren now go with us and love that house, beach, dock and all.

[Boca Sharon]

Cathy,
just saw your reply re: FF. That house, dock, gazebo, etc. is pure HEAVEN to our family. I've spoken to Dick I don't know how many times, but of course, have never met he or Fran. One of my favorite evening pastimes is reading the guestbooks in the house of everyone's adventures. From the entries that Dick & Fran write, they exhaust me, especially Fran, with her seemingly endless energy! What hard work they have done to build and then keep up that house! We didn't get to Abaco this year, but are already planning next summer with another family of 4 which totals 8 and Dick says no to 8 so we're looking for a bigger place. It will be hard not to stay at FF, but I'm sure we can find something else.

[chartz]

I'm 43, live in Golden, CO. My first trip to Abaco (June 2006), we stayed in Guana. Loved it, can't wait to go back. The best time I've ever had. Great people!

[Cathy Arizona]

Boca Sharon:
You might want to try south of Hope Town. We often spend our first week south of town and our second week at FF. I'm trying to remember but Tahiti Hai may accomodate 8. I know it has 3 bedrooms and a bed in the cupola with a sink in the room and a door that goes outside where you can walk completely around the upstairs area and they are great views. If I recall the bed up there is a double futon, kids like it. And it's just a short walk to Tahiti Beach. When my daughter and her family and great-grandma came with us in June 2005 they stayed there. My daughter was worried that after FF she would be disappointed but she loved it. Especially the golf cart ride to town (with a stop at Abaco Inn or Sea Spray for a drink). There are quite a few large houses on the south end. Good luck.

[BA]

and we live in Murrells Inlet, SC (which if we can't be in Abaco, is not a bad place to live!) Ray's been going since he was a child, but my first trip was in 2002. As for favorite destination, that's a tie between Hope Town and Guana. I think we need to do more research...

[csstrohl]

We are 46 and have been coming to Abaco for 14 years. We live in Park City, Utah.....lots of snow. We finally bought some land on Green Turtle and love thinking about building a little place. We kept saying "we should've bought something" so we finally did. If you are thinking about having your own little spot you'll notice Abaco is being discovered. Every year the prices go up. Don't wait too long!
