Making New Friends

Our time is wrapping up in the Abaco’s but before we leave John and Tracey have friends flying in for a short visit. We also have to say see you later to Bruce and Brenda as they need to get back to Colorado and get ready for their son’s graduation from college. Bubba, Tracy and John would crew over to Marsh Harbor with Bruce and Brenda to help put their boat into the marina for the next month. They would then pick up Corey and Scott and catch the ferry back over to Hope Town. Meanwhile, the dogs and I enjoyed a quiet, peaceful day on the boat.

Later that evening we would head over to Hope Town Inn and Marina for drinks with Steve Campana and his wife as well as the crew from earlier in the day.

The next morning, we hopped in the dinghy and went to visit the lighthouse again with Corey and Scott. The views from high above are beautiful and well worth the climb up the stairs to see it.

That afternoon we rented golf carts again so we could visit some of the spots we went to previously and added a new location on to the list, Abaco Inn.

We enjoyed some appetizers and a drink before hopping back on the golf carts to go to Tahiti Beach. There is a ton of new development taking place on this end of Hope Town. In the picture below we just passed a section of the island that was limestone that reminded us of a spot on the way to Eureka Springs where they dynamited it so they could get the road through.

The tide was down when we arrived. We chatted with some cruisers who were on a charter boat. The question we get asked a lot by people we meet is what do we do or how did we make our money to be able to do this. Tracey and I always have to explain that we are still working and the boys are retired. Of course all of the men are like how do we get on that program.

Our next stop was to Firefly. We absolutely loved this restaurant. It had a beautiful view, great drinks and delicious food.

We wrapped up the day at Capt’n Jacks after we dropped off the golf carts. Also included here is photos of one of the guest home and main house that I fell in love with.
