We used to sail the Abacos when we lived in S.FL 35 years ago, and twice in the past three years as retirees, most recently in August. In some ways, time has stood still for some of the islands (especially Man O War). On others, such as Great Guana and Green Turtle, there are more options for dining etc. similar to BVis. We particularly love the clear, usually calm waters with numerous opportunities for snorkeling and diving on spectacular reefs. There are deserted little islands, and Hope Town on Elbow Cay is always a favorite for all. The winds during the April trip made for excellent sailing, better than the summer winds, but keep in mind that the temps are the same as West Palm Beach; beautiful sunny days for beaching and shallow water swims, but the water temps were a bit cool for us southerners to do much snorkeling on the Atlantic reefs. We will continue to explore and enjoy the Abacos for as long as we can still get in and out of a dinghy!
