We were getting antsy again in Marsh Harbor, so off we went to Hope Town. It was only a couple hours away, and the weather was okay, with us dodging a few small squalls. We picked up a mooring near the entrance. We asked a neighboring boat how to pay, and they said a guy would be by in a skiff.
Hope town is on Elbow Cay, identified by their lighthouse. It is still powered by kerosene, and wound by hand every two hours.
This place is just impossibly picturesque. We took the dinghy to the public dock and tied up. It was Sunday, so it was pretty quiet. We talked to some folks that had a house on the island, and they recommended one of the few places open on Sunday, the club up the path. On the way there there was a little park on the Atlantic ocean side.
On the way back there was another wooded lot between houses, which anywhere else would jut be a vacant lot. You could just see the light house across the sound.
