Hopetown and Little Harbour

Thursday morning, we got underway for Marsh Harbour, to top off on fuel, gas, and water, so we can cross to Eleuthera in the morning. It looks like we have a weather window, now thru tomorrow night. If we don't go tomorrow, we'll probably be another week in Abacos with the weather; which would be fine, too.

We left Marsh Harbour, and went to Hopetown to climb the lighthouse, and see a little of the town. We walked up to Vernon's for some fresh bread, but, they were closed for lunch from 1-2, and we were there shortly after 1. So, we didn't get any bread, but, we did climb the old lighthouse, and took in some spectacular views..... my what a pretty boat in anchored over there!

Then we went down to Little Harbour, where I sit writing this. This was one of the gorgeous spots I wanted Allen to see. He and Mercy are currently in the 19', puttering around looking at the cliffs and caves.

We are actually on a mooring tonight, and plan to go to Pete's Pub for coconut cracked conch for supper. Well, update they were out of conch.

The wind generally drops off during the night, and its only about 5 kts now! We're just inside the southern exit out the bight, and will probably leave in the morning for Eleuthera.
