Hope Town, Elbow Cay, Abacos, Bahamas

 In keeping with the theory "when it rains, it pours"....Duane spent a good while in the starboard engine compartment changing out the alternator.  There was some corrosion on some wires that rendered it toast.  Glad we were able to do it while in calm water and not on passage, and glad we had the new spare as well!

That done, we went ashore for a final walk.  This time about a 2 mile loop to the northern end of the island.

Coming into the harbour, one of the ferries.

It's Easter Sunday and the town is very quiet.

Just a lovely day for a walk!  Enjoying the sweet houses and pretty flowers.

 

View from the cart path/road.

There are some "estates" on this tip of the island.

 

The ocean side on this one..it has some beautiful views.

 

Something you don't see much.... next door is a vacant sandy lot......

And it's for sale - I've included a phone number - if you buy it and build a house, we'll be happy to come visit!!

 

Back to the boat for a few hours - we went over to Kohina for another relaxing sundown with Ross and Phyllis.

 Tomorrow we'll be moving on north, thru the Whale Cut and probably anchoring at Green Turtle Cay for some nasty winds in the next few days.
