Treasure Cay and Hope Town



Today we were very fortunate to hitch a ride with a couple from Texas on a boat they rented. They had to drop their captain off at Treasure Cay so they invited us for a ride. Off we went to Treasure Cay in a foot of chop and it rattled our teeth since we were in a 21 footer.

I was a bit taken back by Treasure Cay but perhaps that was a first impression that will be cleared up later.

Anyway from there we shot over to Hope Town and this was a choppy ride also but it was worth it. This is a photo from the Hope Town Light on Elbow Cay. Climbing up the light was a treat since the place looks like it did the day it was built. See the photos in the bucket. The oritinal kerosene fired light is in place and working with the old hand wound mechanizm to spin it!

We ate lunch over at Harbour's Edge and it was quite good with excellent service. As we ate the place filled up so the advice we received indicating we should eat there was correct.

From here we hooked up with some folks that we met at West End, and chatted for a while. It was fun to reconnect with folks and see how their adventures were moving along.

Next we stopped in at Man O War Cay and cruised through the anchorage areas.

All in all it was a great day on the water. More photos in the bucket from Hope Town.
