Northwest Creek Reunion at Hope Town

Friends from our home port at Northwest Creek Marina having lunch at Captain Jack's in Hope Town, Abaco

Beth from Grateful Attitudes (Dave was in Michigan getting dental work done), Bill and Margaret from Margarita, John and Madeleine from Chanceux, Brian and Sonia from Flash II, Jill from Born to Cruise and Wayne took the picture

New Years Day we walked around Little Harbor and once again went to the light house to look at the sea state. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Pete's Pub that night of garlic ginger tuna on a big salad along with the house specialty drink known as a "Blaster".

Friday the 2nd we headed for Hope Town. As we pulled into the habor we were hailed over the VHF by Flash II. The gang was having lunch at Captain Jack's and we should come over. It was fun to see everyone again.

Hope Town has mooring balls in the harbor. This is our first time staying on a mooring ball in this harbor. Several different people own the mooring balls, we are on a ball owned by Rudy. Rudy was born in Hope Town and is quite a character.

We are still in Hope Town. We have walked the beaches, kayaked, climbed to the top of the light house, and walked more beaches and all of the streets around town. In between the fun we have washed some clothes and done a few small boat projects. The days go by so quickly.

Our evenings have been spent with our friends from Northwest Creek. Cruisers get together for what they call 'sundowners'. You gather on someones boat around 4;30 , bringing your own beverage and a snack to share. You enjoy each others company, watch the sun go down, blow the conch horn and by 7:00 or 8:00 head back home to your own boat. Last night we all called Northwest Creek Marina and enjoyed talking to Dawn and Di. One night we had Beth over for dinner and tonight we are having sundowners/game night on Born to Cruise. We are enjoying this time together before everyone heads off in their own direction.

We have some sad news, our daughter-in-law Jenny had a miscarrage. We are thankful that she is ok and she and Steve are making plans for the future.
