Thanksgiving at the Hope Town Marina

[boatbum]

So the turkey is in the oven 1/2 and hour. The power goes out! So I called up the others involved and before I knew it the power was back on. The Hope Town Marina has a stand by generator that drives all the docks!!! This is a first in 25 years of boating and it happened in the Bahamas!

Thank you Hope Town Marina!

How is the weather up there? Enjoy your bird.

Windy! And, it was a terrific dinner.

In Hope Town where do you go shopping on Black Friday?

[boatbum]

The local pubs.

I'm still recovering from their "bad" power last year

But seriously, that's awesome. Power in that part of the Abacos is way too unpredictable.

Hey Dan, say hello to Pete for me?

 

[boatbum]

Pete? Pete's Pub?

 

[Bruce Herrington]

Yes, sir. That's the one. It's been 6 years since I last guzzled one there, but hope to correct that soon.

That is quite a while to abstain from the "Blaster". We were thinking of heading down there early in Dec. but given the current forecast North Bar looks like it will be a train wreck in motion and Freedom doesn't do those well .
The only way to do that place is to go by boat and pick up a mooring ball so you can sleep it off.

We stayed in Cherokee Village the week of Christmas; the weather was perfect, but we didn't do any boating at all, except for the ferry ride to Hope Town...

Next time...
