Time to haul anchor and move a bit

 And so the month of January slips away and with that we are now up in Hopetown at the Hopetown Hideaways marina. It's a really pleasant facility with a swimming pool and mature landscaping that is full of color. I'll have to get some photos of it into the blog and share them. At this point however, what we have here is a shot of the Gecko at the Abaco Inn. If you click on the photo you will see one of the Geckos pointing at the Conch Pearl. If you are playing chase the Gecko that's the drink that would be appropriate to order. We were not involved in the game so we stuck with the regular well drinks to keep the tab under control.
 But back on the topic of moving on, in leaving Sea Spray we left a number of pleasant memories behind as well as a number of folks we spent quite a bit of good time with. Certainly we'll miss them all, especially Ben.
 Ben weighs in at around 100 pounds. Once he gets to know you he'll run down the dock at you and you'll swear he's going to flatten you. But the worst this guy will do is lick your leg and step on your foot on the way by. It was always a welcome sight to see him laying by our door in the morning. But it wasn't because he was waiting for us. It was because it was shady there and he could see into his owner's boat as well as observe the two female golden retrievers basking in the sun not too far away on the dock. Always pleasant and a great buddy on the dock.
 By the way his owners were ok also. :)

 Good luck on the rest of the Winter folks! Hopefully we'll see you again before the crossing back to the States.
