Green
Shutters is all spick and span after the damage caused by hurricane
Floyd in 1999. Look closely at the upper deck and the pineapple
cutouts in the fence. You'll see more of this later. |

The
tropical flowers off the rear deck at Green Shutters bring forth
memories of our time in Hawaii. |

Elaine
says these trumpet flowers have a stong aphrodisiac affect IF
you stand UNDER them. |

Island
Marine graciously provided us with the use of a boat for a day.
We visited several of the other islands north of Elbow Cay. This
is a pier at Man-o-War Cay. |

may not be able to read the writing, but this identifies the
stains left by various types of wine. |

The
next eveing we watched the sun set from the deck atop Green Shutters.
In this shot the camera is looking east, and can see the Atlantic. |

Still
looking east, but from a higher vantage, we can see the land
side of the dune that protects Green Shutters. The seaward side
was largely rebuilt by the residents after Hurricane Floyd. |

looking southwest, we see the harbor where Elaine points out
the location of a friend's house. |

peers out through the decorative openings in the fence. She can
keep track of the neighborhood from this location |

Walking
north, along the beach to the east of Green Shutters each morning,
we enjoy the solitude. |

One
of the new "dune protection" stairs, replaced after
hurricane Floyd (and the more recent Michele). This dune was
largely removed during Floyd. |

A
cozy little place in a small harbor at the north end of Elbow
Cay. |

The
resident lizard is asleep, inside his home. I wonder how he managed
to land his plane in such a small yard. |
