Hope Town

We took a short hop over to Hope Town on Elbow Cay. The wind was dead calm. There's a really small opening into a really small harbor. We grabbed a mooring. Hope Town is famous for it's red & white striped lighthouse, that the British built in the 1860's. We climbed all 101 steps to the top, what a work out & what a view! It is one of the last three, continuously operated, kerosene-fueled, hand-wound rotation lighthouses in the world. All three are in the Bahamas.

We had lunch at Cap'n Jacks & enjoyed their specialty drinks. We were amazed to see so many turtles in the harbor.
