HOLIDAY PHOTOS & NEWS

ELEUTHERA, BAHAMAS, WINTER 2000


This Winter, we hosted groups of fly-fishers and several non-anglers during the last two weeks of November and the first two weeks of December. BfG "worked" the first 3 weeks then BfC took over for the last week, then stayed on with friends for the fifth week. Peter & Carol Goodwin, Dick Hawes and Colin Finnis had all been with us before but all the rest were newcomers.

The groups of photos are separated into four weeks, one group for each week. Click a photo to view it full size, then "exit" or "minimise" the photo to return to this page.
