After spending 3 or 4 days in Treasure, getting laundry done, groceries, beachcombing, and eating and drinking with friends, we left last Sunday along with Thate Wata and Felix the Cat. With plans to head to the south end of the Sea of Abaco on Monday we all intended to first stay a night in Man-o-War. That's where Thate Wata went...as planned. We changed course and headed to Guana for Sunday Pig roast, Felix changed course and headed to Marsh Harbor for groceries. We did, however, all end up at Tilloo Cay on Monday, as planned. Along the way, we hooked 2 nice mutton Snappers, so dinner was on board Civil Twilight. We grilled the fish, and Suzi and Chris provided the side dishes.

The following day we all headed further south to Lynyard Cay. Dave and Alan went in search of lobster. Dave nailed 8 of them, Alan on one, but we all enjoyed grilled lobsters for dinner on board Felix. Suzi and I brought the side dishes...as well as Dennis's key lime pie!

The weather deteriorated much quicker than forecast. We had hoped to be able to explore some back waters in the Bight of Old Robinson. Dave, Alan and I got in our dinghies and headed out, but the longer we were out there, the worse the conditions got. The water was too choppy to snorkel, and those big black clouds approaching turned us around and we headed back to the boat. Alan and I decided to pick up anchor that afternoon and we headed back north to Tavern Cay. Sunset that night while we at dinner in the cockpit was not bad.

The following morning we headed into Hopetown, on Elbow Cay. Hopetown is the perfect little settlement, with colorful cottages, several restaurants and bars, and nice beaches. As we walked around town I took several photos of the "Colors of Hopetown". Just a few...

Today we are leaving Hopetown and going back up to Guana. The plan is to have a Patriots party at Nippers tomorrow night. There are far more Ravens fans around here than Patriots, so we decided that we should be there to represent the Northeast!
