A trip to the Abacos would not be complete without a stop in Hope Town. We enjoy it because it is so different from any other place in the Bahamas. It has a large influx of tourism while maintaining a very village-like feel. It is compact with golf cart sized streets and pedestrian alleyways allowing you to get around all the homes. The basin is full of mooring balls and marinas and, because of Hope Town's popularity, usually full of boats as well.
We went into town with the plan of climbing the steps to the lighthouse one afternoon. That trip would take us 6 hours. Not because it took us that long to climb the 101 winding steps to the top but because once we were there we realized that the harbor below was full of friends that we had not seen in a while. The first stop was David on Windchyme, followed by Dick and Ann on Nati, then Robin at On Assignment and finally Bob and Sharon on At Last. What fun!
