We left the Eleuthera's and traveled 50+ miles north to the Abacos. Our first stop Hopetown.
Many of you may recognize Hopetown from its distinctive candy striped lighthouse. Here we would be meeting someone new, Jean, the Aunt of a friend of ours. We didn't know what to expect when meeting her, but we were delighted to find an experienced sailor with whom we could trade stories and thoroughly enjoy spending time with. Jean introduced us to Captain Jacks where we played Jacks (local bingo), enjoyed cocktails and just had a wonderful time with Jean and her friends Betty and Ann.
We enjoyed strolling the streets of the small community and climbing the 101 steps to the lighthouse where we were able to get some extraordinary views of the harbor.
We had a wonderful time. Thank you Jean for your wonderful hospitality. We look forward to seeing you again next year.
The Admiral
PS. Yes, I have gotten another haircut. This time....even shorter than the last.
