INTRODUCTION

The things I hold most dearly are not much different from any other patriotic, red Blooded, freedom loving American:

1. First and foremost, our families, our childred, our grand children and our great grand children and all our posterity thereafter and our GOD.

2. Our great freedoms and the liberties outlined by our most notable founding fathers.

3. The greatest document ever created for governing a free people......The Constitution of the USA and even that has descended from the greatest document ever compiled.....The Christian Holy Bible with its Judeo Christian ethic. And as declared in the Decleration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

I re-iterate what has been said over and again so that those with deaf ears may hear it again and again: certain inalienable Rights are granted by GOD and cannot be removed by governments of Man.

In the end, such arragance by governments to remove or curtail Gods rights will always fail with devine assistance in the pursuit of the truth of these declarations.

This blog will be dedicated to the pursuit of our fundamental Constitutional (God given rights) as revealed and given to the people by and through the wisdom of our founding fathers.

A GREAT ROMAN ORATOR BEFORE THE ROMAN SENATE

Quote from Marcus Tullius Cicero

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason

from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his

banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly

whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For

the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he

wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the

hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the

night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no

longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."

ABACOS in Dee Bahamas, Mon.

While the blueberry fields are demanding my attention, starting about now , through harvest and into fall, my mind wanders a bit in reminiscing about the "good old days" in the Abacos, in dee Bahamas, mon.

Some may have an interest in my recalling events and places along the way to the Abacos. My children and grand children recall with the same fondness, these reminiscings. I am glad that they had the opportunity of those "once in a life experiences" to recall and hold in their hearts....those times that we shared.

Therefore, I have decided to share with those who "care to dare", even vicariously so, and travel back in time to dee Abacos, mon where a little part of our hearts still reside.

.
So, hang on, we will take a series of adventures into the Archipelagoes , lying just East of us, across the Straits of Florida and the mysterious Gulf Stream....never to be taken for granted! Its unscheduled furry has claimed many an uwary sailor and taken them down into the briny deeps of the unfathomable Gulf Trench, never to be seen or heard from again.

Well somebody's gotta do the dirty work.....Huh, Sarah.

Cleaning dee boot, mon, dat got us to dee Abacos!

My grandaughter, Sarah, swabbing the decks of the "NO MO TOYS" in which we made several trips across the Florida Straights to West End Grand Bahama Island and thence across the Little Bahama Bank to Marsh Harbor on the Great Abaco Island where we owned a house in the Great Abaco Club and spent much of our time from April 2001 until December 2004. The voyage across the, usually placid Little Bahama Bank, was about 140 miles of indescribable beauty across the shallow waters of the bank.
