We are going to take advantage of a good weather/wind window and leave the Abaco islands for Eeluthera. This will be a full day crossing (about 50 nautical miles). Tomorrow looks good for this and there are several other boats staging to go as well. One boat, Winsome, we met in Palm Beach and have kept in touch with as we've traveled. Eleuthera will be a little less developed than where we've been traveling. I hope to be able to find internet connections so I can keep blogging regularly.
We've spent the last couple of nights in beautiful Hope Town Harbor. Such a sweet and friendly little town with pastel painted houses and narrow hibiscus flower lined streets. It's a hard place to leave. Our friends, the Guinness family, call this harbor home and Morning Star has a mooring here for the winter. They were kind enough to be our tour guides while we've been here. Here are some pictures of our latest adventures.

Follow along with us on the Spot, and hopefully we won't take a detour to the south Pacific again. Those seas were rough!

ReplyDeleteHi all,
ReplyDeleteWe tried calling you on the radio this morning as we left but couldn't hail you. We left the Junkanoo early because we were wiped out by our walk to the preserve (which was great; you were right!). Hopefully we'll see you in the Exumas. Also, thanks for the bucket and shovel. They look new; hope you didn't buy it because the other bucket we left with Wren was really old and we have tons. If so, you can have it back when we see you next. You can never have too many buckets on a boat.
Matt, Jen, Conrad and Mark

Hi Wren. How are you? You have some very cool pictures up. My favorite one is the caterpillar. It is so big. I have never seen a caterpillar like that before. It it is really cold here. On February 4, it was only 10 degrees when I got up to go to school. I hope you have fun,
