Hopetown - Before Sailing South to Exumas

A beautiful view of Jungle at rest outside the harbor. We find it much more comfortable and breezy outside the harbors. And, better swimming.
And quite the views. I know what your thinking, "wow, nice neck".

You want lighthouses - we got lighthouses!



That view overlooking the bay included this island home.


This is one of the streets. This is Queens Highway (every island has a Queens Highway) and is restricted to pedestrians. As mentioned before the golf carts are limited to the "super highways".


We took a break at one of the many scenic vistas on the island. This was the end of a street (cart path) that looked out over the bay coming into the harbor.


Jenée is standing in the entrance to one of the dinghy docks - nice entrance!


Isn't this an idyllic picture of the harbor! Set up all nice and pretty for us.


This is th Lighthouse Marina inside the harbor. Not sure where it got it's name from.


We're now anchored outside of Hopetown on Elbow Cay. Our last visit before heading to the Exumas. This is Alex and Carol from S/V Nepenthe. We run into them at just about every anchorage and enjoy our time with them. Here we are racing into Hopetown Harbor. We lost, must be bad gas.

I am surprised no one leaves any comments. If only your images had the sound of steel drums playing off in the distance...
