Cassie and Godiva have a cute little boy next door.


Enjoying a late night at poolside.


This guy decided to join us at lunch at Pete's Pub.

Nippers....NIPPERS!

Nippers is the most famous beach bar in all the Islands. Our first stop is Grabbers Sunset Beach Bar, where you park your family car (tender) at the beach and have your first taste of Guana Cay. After a couple of rum drinks to make sure you don't de-hydrate on the long walk to Nippers, you pass Milo's. Milo is the self-appointed mayor of Great Guana Cay. He sell fruits, vegetables, and all kinds of shell stuff. Next stop is Pirates Cove. Pirates Cove is a funky little tiki bar on the side of the street (if you can call it a street) where you can enjoy another cold one. Hey....It's a long walk to Nippers. We were so excited to get to Nippers, that we didn't stop at Pirates Cove and pushed on. Next you see the signs pointing to Nippers. You start up the hill past the cemetery (people who never made it all the way back from Nippers are buried there) and the old fig tree, and you are at Nippers. The first thing you see are the bright colors and the swimming (drinking) pools with hammocks. Just past that pool and up the steps is the upper pool. From there you go up the steps to the deck that overlooks the Atlantic and a fabulous beach. DANGER, DANGER ahead, there's the bar that serves Nipper punch with free floaters. A day at Nippers is like no other. Now we know why, in the song about Nippers, Barefoot Man sings about rolling down the hill. Remember, Nippers is on a hill. Well some of us who shall remain nameless now understand.
We had a great afternoon at Nippers (from what some of us remember) and this coming Sunday is the pig roast at Nippers, and we are going to take the Gypsies (Doug and Tammy) there. They fly into Marsh Harbour on Saturday, and Sunday, Nippers will be our first stop. All I can say is OMG. Lock the doors and shield the children's eyes. We haven't seen each other for months, and it could get ugly.

September Song (will we ever be the same) out

I love this picture at Grabbers.


Brittany, with her first of many rum punches on her visit to the Islands Mon.


First stop, Grabbers. Need to replenish the fluids before the long walk to Nippers. That's Jay and Nancy with our two adopted children, Jesse and Brittany.



This must be the way.

Brittany, on the old tractor, pointing to the playpen for adults. NIPPERS!


They're not kidding!


Almost there!


It's a good thing this sign is here, or we may have. It's a long hot walk up the hill to Nippers.

It's mandatory to have a drink in your hand in the pool at Nippers.


The view of the lower deck from the upper deck overlooking the Atlantic.


Jesse, enjoying a Cuban cigar.


This is kinda like kissing the blarney stone. Nancy leaning over to give the Nippers guy a kiss.

As the song says, "We love this bar"

I think Brittany likes the cruising life.

Did we have fun or what? Time to head back.


My shirt fit when we got here!


I give...Take me back to the boat.


The beach at Nippers. That's the rock on the left you will read about further down.

Well, Jesse and Brittany thought it was a good idea to stand on a big rock at the edge of the ocean for a great picture.


NOT! "Where did that wave come from?" We promise we will send them home all healed up.


The walking wounded. Who is helping who?


This path back was straighter on the way there.
