We stayed the night at a mooring ball in Hope Town which is off Elbow Cay in the Central Abacos. It is tucked into a nice little bay and it has adorable brightly colored houses lining the shore. We walked around town and it is such a a very cool little town with small streets that basically can accommodate golf carts and bicycles. There aren't very many cars on the island and the ones that are here are very small. Everything is in walking or dinghy distance though.
The island is very narrow and long and you have the nice calm bay on the one side and then you walk a short distance and just over the dunes you have the large waves crashing into the rocky shore.
There is a lighthouse that we visited today. It is one of the oldest working lighthouses that still uses kerosene.
Wes and Karen, wow, looks like you've had a stressful last couple of days. Glad you're in a safe harbor and learning how to handle rough seas and T-storms. Enjoy Hope Town! - John, Jen and family
