Hope Town

After we left Little Harbor (Pete's) we ventured up the island to Hope Town.   Kirk had contacted old Whitehall friends whom we had not seen for years.   We had a good time catching up with Will and Muffin on sv Antares.   They left to head back north.   We hope to see them in Annapolis this summer.





Our friends on sv Moonshine, Christy, Shane and Michael coming to visit.   We were so happy to meet up with them in Hope Town.  We had not seen them since they left Grenada in October 31.  We had two summers with sv Moonshine in Grenada.  They also are headed back to the States.



Looking out the inlet at Hope Town




We had coffee one morning.  We were sitting on the deck of the coffee house.  The harbor is behind Kirk.




We walked the beach headed north and came upon this Man-O-War.   Gosh it was so ugly.  Beautiful color but nasty to watch move.   yuk




At the ice-cream store the sign reads "without ice-cream there would be darkness and chaos"


So when i was studying the chart one night I saw mention of this shop.  I said to Kirk  Oh we have to go there.  I had no idea of what kind of store it was but the name grabbed me.  We were cruising along the streets one day and bingo there it was!   Come to find out it is a wine bar that serves tapas.   Perfect!!!!   A taste of some good wine was so welcome.   We had a great time there with sv Moonshine and Antares.   FYI Sip-Sip means gossip.  Is that not a great name?




This is for Lisa.   Notice the whales.   Loved all the house colors.  Too bad they were not turtles!

Oh My the stairs.   It was really blowing when were there.   I did not stay at the top very long!



Curved cabinet along the wall of the lighthouse.




Looking down.   Notice the pulley on the left side.  I am sure they pulley to get the oil up to near the top where the tanks are.
