Island Touring and walks




We decided it was time to tour the island again. Mads and Loni were going to join us so in the interest of getting around the island in a day we rented a golf cart. We picked them up at the public dock and from there drove down to Sea Spray where we exchanged carts since this one was about to die of internal bleeding. Every time I stepped on a peddle a plume of blue smoke errupted from the tail pipe. While we waited for the cart exchange we ate lunch at the Abaco Inn. This photo is the view south from their outdoor dining area.


Once they set us up with a new cart off we went for Tahiti Beach. The tide was out and that gave us plenty of beach to explore.
Later that evening we capped off the day with dinner at the Hope Town Harbour Lodge and it was terrific. Expensive, but very good.
Yesterday we took the dink to Hope Town and then walked south to "On Da Beach" where we had a burger and beers for lunch and walked back. The GPS data I've loaded has a leg where we walked along the beach going back to the reef bar. Here we ran into folks that were back on their boat after being in Kansas City. Needless to say they were happy to be back. A few boats stopped in here at Sea Spray for the weekend. A long weekend considering it was only Wednesday. We made some new aquaintences and wound up at happy hour at the Abaco Inn where we had some great appetizers with good cheap drinks (2 for 1).

Today just some grocery shopping in Hope Town where we picked up one of Vernon's Key Lime Pies. Yummy.
