Hope Town, Day 2

Get up late and make coconut french toast for breakfast. We then head to the Marina for showers. The first real showers off the boat since Nassau. Nice not having to be miserly with the hot water or showering off on the stern of the boat after dark. After lunch we walk through Hope Town, a very quaint village of cottages close together, very picturesque. We walk on the Atlantic side beach, enjoying watching the surf from the beach and not from the water. 
 
Life is a beach !
Linda and I both find a sea beans. I guess most tourist are looking for shells of which there are very few. Too years ago at this point we had collected loads of shells, but this year it has been slim pickings. I don't know why the change, high winds, high surf ?

 

We head back to the harbor for Ice Cream at Sugar Scoops, one of our favorite places here from our last trip. Unfortunately, we see they have had a fire in the recent past and are closed, bummer.

We have back to the boat and put on our swim suits and head to one of the pools at the marina for the rest of the afternoon. Again we meet up with the Maewyn Crew. After an hour or so clouds roll in and it is threatening rain, so we all leave to head back to our boats with open hatches. An hour or so later the winds pick up and we have a couple showers. The winds are still blowing hard and the boat is dancing and rolling around on the mooring.
