Bahamian Grouper and French Angel Fish in Abaco

Bahamian Grouper

French Angel Fish

This Bahamian Grouper and French Angel Fish (photo taken by one of our our guests at Sandy Bottoms) are just two of the fish you might see snorkeling and diving at Sandy Cay National Park at Pelican Cays Land & Sea Park and Sandy Cay Reef in Abaco.

Sam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchen said...: No, I didn't take the pictures of the underwater fish. We built a weekly vacation rental house next door to our own home when we lived there and one of our vacation renters took the pictures and sent them to us. Glad you liked them.

Underwater Abaco is gorgeous because the water is gin clear with no pollution. Thanks for your comments and I hope you have a terrific weekend.

About me and my memoir of Abaco

Welcome. My name is Sam Hoffer. I am in the process of writing a lively memoir, Living on Island Time, Retirement in Abaco Spiced with Food, Friends and Rum. The book is a travel adventure filled with zany characters, funny stories, jokes, and all of the wonderful friends we made. It includes building a home, boating and fishing tales, gardening, entertaining, food and recipes, as well as all of the trouble we managed to get into. Life isn't always perfect in paradise.

My husband Meakin and I followed a dream and retired to Abaco, in the out islands of the northern Bahamas, and lived there year-around for ten years on a tiny private cay (cays are smaller than islands) called Lubbers Quarters. Our home was Lazy Days and we also had a vacation rental Sandy Bottoms. Also I wrote a food column for The Abaconian newspaper, From the Kitchen of Lazy Days, while we lived there. It was a very special time in our lives and one we won't forget. I currently write a food column for the Cherokee Scout newspaper in the mountains of western North Carolina From My Carolina Kitchen.
