Goodbye to Hope Town

March 29, 2015

       We have come to the end of our time in Hope Town.  We had planned to stay a little longer, but, as always happens, a 'weather window' has come up - a long one which should last for five days - so it can't be ignored!  We will head out on the afternoon tide tomorrow (Monday 31st) and sail over to spend the night anchored at Guana Cay. On Tuesday we'll cross the Whale and head to Powell Cay - a lovely sandy atol - and then on to Great Sale Cay and West End, Grand Bahama island.  We hope to make our Gulf Stream crossing on Friday 3 April if the weather holds!  We shan't be alone  - apart from David & Linda on Camp David, there will be a small flotilla of like-minded boaters taking advantage of the good weather forecast.
         Tonight a group of us will meet for drinks and dinner at the Hope Town Harbour Lodge for our farewell gathering and promises of "same time next year".
