    Island living - a dream of the many and an achievement of the few...

    Pseudo-aquatics live at the edge of, in and out of, but not actually in the water. That defines Dave and Phoebe who bought the uninhabited five-acre Parrot Cay, near Hope Town, from the Queen of England, forty-five years ago. After a rough start in the hotel business they created Island Marine, renting small boats and cottages, and diving.

Ready About: Voyages of Life in the Abaco Cays is a collection of true stories about their Abaco life (Dave says he can't walk from the bedroom to the kitchen without something weird, wacky, or wonderful happening) and a few stories from New York where they married in 1953, a year before moving to the Bahamas.

Please be on the look out for my latest book,
Below Another Sky, soon to be published.
