Our friends, Joan & Wayne, left our sunny shores yesterday....but they will return! How do we know? Well, they left with sand in their shoes.....a sure sign.....and they have already made their reservations for next year!
In the past week, we have had great fun showing them around Hope Town & Elbow Cay. In fact they haven't had many spare moments since their arrival day, which started almost as soon as they had set foot off the ferry,with a party at a friend's house. The 'Barefoot Man' concert the next day set the tone for the rest of their trip! Here is a short list of the gastronomic and other adventures we had together!
* Saturday - Day out with lunch and Art Show (free wine tasting!) at the Abaco Inn, followed by dessert at Sea Spray Marina.
* Sunday - Cocktails and Prime Rib dinner at the Hope Town Lodge.
* Monday - We rented a 19 foot run-about and toured the west side of Elbow Cay. We had delicious lunch at the beautiful 'Firefly' resort, and then anchored our boat off Tahiti Beach for a swim and beach walk. A perfect day with sizzling weather.
* Tuesday - At the 'Cay Topics' luncheon at the Hope Town Marina we heard about the activities of the 'Harbour Rats' - a group of boaters who came to Hope Town about 20 years ago, and were the founders of the friendly and helpful community which Hope Town and its' inhabitants, both on the water and on shore, has now become.
* Wednesday - dinner at 'On Da Beach' restaurant - renowned for its' fresh fish. Unfortunately the restaurant had run out of fish by the time we arrived! We made do with shrimps!
* Thursday - our farewell dinner at the Hope Twon Marina.
We are looking forward to seeing Wayne & Joan back in Niagara-on-the-Lake....and also back in Hope Town next year.
