Little Harbour and back to Hope Town again
After a good dinner moored in Little Harbour (near Pete's Pub) , we enjoyed teaching Bill & Paige how to play Mexican Train. Off to bed at a reasonable hour. Next morning was very lazy and relaxing...reading our books, waiting for the tide to come in and Bill & Paige went for a walk on the beach (Bill brought a lot of the beach back to the boat with him - and it was a mystery for a long time as to where all the sand came from)! Set sail for Tiloo Cay and anchored in a lovely spot for the night near Tavern Cay. Grilled chicken salad for lunch, then beef tenderloin, garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli for dinner - what more can you ask for in a beautiful place than lots of rum, sangria, red wine and beer??!! Tonight was the official start of the Mexican Train tournament (Whoo ohhh ohh ). Early to rise on a clear, calm, and exquisite morning. Breakfast of bacon and egg "mc muffins" (with tomatoes and cheese!) at Tahiti Beach, Elbow Cay - what a gorgeous site! Headed back to Hope Town b/c the wind is supposed to pick up tonight...got a great mooring = but in front of us is a "power cat" that we have seen before (Fisher's Bay) - and boy did they have the rap music turned up and are apparently another boat with a drinking problem!! We enjoyed lunch at On Da Beach, then walked on the beach as the aqua waves crashed all around us. Another walk thru town, then back to the boat for a relaxing afternoon. Saw our friends we met in Miss Emily's Blue Bee Bar today at Harbour's Edge - and chatted with them for a few mintues - they also own a Lagoon 38 and are from Albuquerque - Mucho Gusto. Back on the boat, Alison made her black bean and corn app, we enjoyed drinks as the sun set - what a bright blue the sky was all day long - not a cloud in the sky. Now the boys are all taking turns blowing the conch - it is a tradition to blow a conch shell as the sun sets - and they have some kind of lung power! Looking forward to Paige's marinated pork tenderloin salad with freshly baked Abaco bread tonight! And some of the boys are wearing their Pareos tonight - hope the breeze doesn't pick up too much!

Congratulations! You made it to Tavern Cay on the inside near Tiloo Cut. It's shallow in there!!! I'll bet Gary won the conch contest since he had a private lesson from the lock master at Deep Creek Lock on the Dismal Swamp Canal.
ReplyDeleteKeep those pareos down.

P.S. -- I got so stressed out in Richmond I drove down to Deltaville for a few days. I'll be on Wavelength tomorrow so I can at least feel the boat moving beneath my feet. It'll bring back memories of Taravana -- or is that Ta-rum-vana? I'll toast you guys tomorrow.
Why am I usually the first to comment on your antics?
