Here is the photo of an Abaco legend - Mr. Sinclair Frederick.

Nice picture Willy.

I think I've got a couple photos of Sinclair and YOU hiding somewhere in the deep recesses of my laptop that I should go look for.

But I think they're of you and Sinclair nursing some Kaliks (and not back to health), so we wouldn't want to post them on a "family" board....for the children's sake.

RIP Sinclair.

Thanks for posting that photo --- Sinclair as we remember him always smiling...

Jim, good hearing from you again. I'd have to suspect you've have a couple of high schoolers about now - or have they already passed that stage too?

Yep

Meagan's 17 (Junior), Steven's 15 (freshman), and the youngest is 9 (new Mrs. G's daughter).

If memory serves me right...you've got the last one graduating next spring?

What are you going to do with an empty nest, and MA only has one child at home?

......that will hopefully xlate into more Abaco visits at some point. You're right, the last of this brood of four, Daniel, WILL graduate in the Spring. MA will be left with that one particular "50-something" kid. 'Looks like your crew is moving right along too. BTW, are you guys still staying waaayyyyyyy up there in Park City?

Yep....to all those questions.

More Abaco visits, only from now on....flying there ourselves.

I bought a Cessna 340 last year (pressurized, high flying twin), with Abaco trips in mind. We can make Ft. Pierce, FL in 7-8 hours (1 fuel stop 1/2 way), overnight there, and be in MH, or TC the next morning.

Still in Park City...Today it's 20F, windy as heck, and 3+ feet of snow (at the house) since Friday....Tracy and I wouldn't live anywhere else.

(I took the older two skiing yesterday in all that fresh powder and had a great time)

Jim G,
Are you in Park City UT? (Not sure if there is another Park City!?!) If so, we are just down the canyon from you in Orem. What a small world! Do you visit Abaco often? How fun is that to have the best of both worlds Snow and Sand! I prefer the sand...but cant give up the snow!!! Take care!

Yep, we are. Lived here 10 years, my wife 9.

I've been to Abaco 3x in the last 6 years, alternating between other Caribbean islands in between, but we seem to go back to Abaco before repeating any of the other islands.

The first time was when we (ex-wife and I) met AbacoWilly and his crew... two years later, we took our crew and coordinated schedules to overlap a few days with them.

Watched fireworks Treasure Cay beach on July 4th together.

The last time I was there was 2-1/2 years ago, with my wife (then GF) and our kids, but we've been talking about summer 2006.

If not then....2007 for sure and we'll fly ourselves there.

There are a few ppl. here that frequent Abaco, including one couple I know that goes bareboating every year.
