'Tranquillity': Because we spend four-five months a year at 'Tranquillity,' it is really our home, as such, we have tried to make it as complete, comfortable and convenient as possible. The house is situated between, and close to, the Sea of Abaco and the Atlantic Ocean. It is close enough to hear the surf of the Ocean and the lapping of the Sea, The panoramic view of both is spectacular. It is accessed from the main road by a wooded path which leads directly to the house. The path continues past the house and 3 more minutes takes you to the 5 miles of white sand Ocean beach with it's wonderful snorkeling reefs. An even shorter walk South, brings you to the dock on the Sea. Here, one can keep a rental boat, swim and snorkel in the most beau

Enviroment/Pleasures: Guana Cay offers 5 miles of beautiful, low-keyed environment. The Sea of Abaco is on the South side and the Atlantic Ocean borders the North. 'Tranquillity' is uniquely situated between, but close to, both bodies of water. The lovely white sand Ocean beach runs the length of the Island. No 'Club Med'; Guana maintains 'Island Time.' It is tranquil, unspoiled, laid back and the ultimate relaxing 'non-doing' vacation. But, if you like fishing, snorkeling or swimming in water that caresses your body and lifts the spirt, Guana is the place! One may linger over an unhurried dinner under the stars; explore the Island's 5 miles of spectacular white sand ocean beach and adjacent reef; swim from the dock in the sea; seek rare sea shells on nearby man-made Shell Island; or watch sun and sea mingel their evening colors. There is always 'Nippers' beach bar for true excietment. A bounty of activity is available on this, the largest Island of the Abaco Cays, that warmly welcomes one and

Guest Book: Thomas, 'The trip was fantastic. We didn't want to leave! We love your house and its wonderful view. The people there were fantastic, incredibly honest and very friendly. We had a great time and really enjoyed visiting with the locals and avoiding the US citizens. I think often of moving to such a place for political asylum. Thanks very much again for accommodating us at the last minute. It was one of the very best trips we have ever had.' David daz@whitney.usl.edu David A.
