2012-03-05 - in Hope Town, Elbow Cay

Mom, sister Adele and neice Brooke all made it to see us today!  We have been very excited about them visiting. We ended up staying in Hope Town and using the local ferry service to pick them up.  Connor and I headed over to Marsh Harbour in the morning to do a bit of grocery shopping and then get them on the right ferry for Hope Town.  We had decided not to move the boat over to Marsh Harbour as originally planned as the wind had picked up with the cold front and maneuvering out and back into the marina would be challenging.  There was only a couple of inches of play on either side of our 18 foot beam so moving, even in a slight breeze, could be difficult.  Besides, the ferry took only 20 minutes zipping across the Sea of Abaco, so we could all enjoy each others company that much sooner.   We will probably stay in Hope Town for a couple of days to wait out the front.  Hopefully, we will be able to get off the dock mid to late week to explore some of the great spots in the Abacos before they head home next Sunday.
