Hope Town Beach



Isn't he cute?
We just left the dinghy dock

Supply boat off loading at one of the docks

Wow, we made it down from the lighthouse!

Supply boat coming into harbour, you can see the people waiting at the dock for their stuff.

Sea of Abaco

Well we made it to the top--wow what a wonderful view!

Inside the lighthouse
Did they count these steps when they said it was 101 steps to the top?



Lighthouse from mooring field.  Hope Town has the last working lighthouse in the Bahamas and it is kerosene not electric

Still in Marsh Harbour



In front of Mermaid Reef--we keep waiting for a good day to snorkle

Laura arrived and was glad to be with us after waiting six hours in Nassau for her flight.  What was she thinking when she booked?

Hanging around Marsh Harbour



This guy is trying to find an open area in Marsh Harbour to take off

Ed made an excellent coconut cake--thanks Charlotte for the recipe!
Now Ed is getting serious.  We should have coconut cake soon!

Putting the machetti to good use

Marsh Harbour Marina


Our friend and neighbor, Greg, from Mumford Cove came into Marsh Harbour today on Lucky Dancer.  We had a storm while we were having dinner, very unusual to have so much rain this time of the year!

Just proving that Ed came with me!


Clouds are coming in low


Looking out towards Mermaid Reef, hope to go snorkeling there.

House overlooking the Sea of Abaco

Some scenes on our walking tour

Marsh Harbour Marina


26 33.059N
77 03.335W

The famous Jib Room at our marina


It was a cloudy day and threating but never rained


Waiting to clear customs and immigration.  Linda couldn't leave the boat until we checked in--oops the marina forgot to call the authorities to come to the marina so Linda had to remain onboard until they finally arrived!


Looking around the marina
In our berth at Marsh Harbour Marina--the winds had picked up and it was not an easy job getting docked but the capitan did a great job once again!
