Elbow Cay, Hope Town Inn and Marina

4-3-2014:  My sister flew out of Marsh  Harbour airport yesterday afternoon and landed safely in Minneapolis last night.  After 12 days at Jib Room, Marsh Harbour Marina, we left about 10:30 this morning.   We said our good-bye's (for now) to Jan and Ron on Wind Warrior 1 and just went 10 miles to Hope Town Inn and Marina.  It was another beautiful day and the water was pretty calm once we were underway.  It was a bit windy leaving the marina but the CO did an excellent job getting us out safe.  After we settled in we walked up to the lighthouse and took some pictures (will post them tomorrow).  On our way back we ran into Keith and Jo from Dream Weaver who we met in Palm Beach.  We had a drink and a good visit with them at the pool.

CO's comments:  I think I have finally learned that a fairway that is only 45 feet wide makes it very difficult to get a 54 foot boat in and out of a slip.  To complicate matters, they docked a 53 foot Hatteras at the opening of the fairway.  I managed to get out this morning without touching anything.  Our friend was so kind as to tow our dinghy out to us in the harbour because I never would have made it with dinghy behind us.
