Hope Town Happiness

Tom and I have been in the Bahamas for nearly a month and we're back in the wonderful Abacos...our third visit in ten years, but our first under our own steam. It was thrilling to pull into Hopetown Harbour and see the colorful red and white stripped lighthouse. We are jumpin with company this month of March..Suzy and Jack Keating just left after a wonderful 4 days of cruising and enjoying the scenery and each other.The Abacos are very different from the reswt of the Bahamas...the waters are shallow thus preventing any big cruise ships from coming in...therefore the resorts here are all small and no high rises...the cays are picturesque and loaded with history because these islands were settled by loyalists during the American revolution...all the little cottages have the look of England. Today we will anchor out and go snorkeling...
