Hope Town, Elbow Cay, Abacos, Bahamas

 We went back on shore for another walk-about.  What's a visit to Hope Town without a climb to the top....

 

 The entrance to the lighthouse.

 

 Climbing up the spiral stairs.

 

Ladder to the very top.

 

 

The view from the top ledge.




View back towards Marsh Harbour showing Sojourn and Kohina.

 

 After the lighthouse climb we just walked around town and enjoyed the pretty flowers in all the yards.








Ross and Phyllis from Kohina came over for another relaxing sundown.  

We will probably move to another anchorage today and get set to possibly transit the Whale cut on Monday when the waves settle in the 3-4' range.  Will likely be bumpy but safe.  After that, we are going to have to get to a protected anchorage to wait out about 10 days of really strong easterly winds and enormous seas before making the jump back to the US.

  1. Surprised to see the volume of skiffs in the yard below the lighthouse.
    Such pretty flowers. 💐

  2. It is that time of year for flowers, and Hope town is a great place to see them. Too bad the weather has been uncooperative. Seems like this year has been the most uncooperative weather for the Bahamas and northern Caribbean that we have had in the last 5 years, probably longer.
