Day 165 Mar 28 5.3 mi to Hope Town Abacos Bahamas

The Nanseann is headed to Hope Town today....In fact boats are coming and going....the fuel dock is busy.....boaters are ready to go.......somewhere.....anywhere....they have been in the harbor too long....

 

Going to be a beautiful day
 
 
Remember those trees...look at them now

We haven't seen many loopers in the Bahamas.  Tony and Shirley on Headquarters were in last week with their children.  They are from New Zealand.  But today we hit the jackpot....as we were untying the lines.....who should appear but Dave and Dianne on Boot Scootin.  We had traveled with them on the river system to Dog Rivers in Mobile.  They are Canadian and have been in the Bahamas since January.  Then another trawler appeared....Colleen and Matt on Gemini Dream.  They crossed their wake in December (I believe) at Clearwater and are from NJ.  We met them at the AGLCA Fall conference in Rogersville.  Both boats are headed toward Green Turtle Cay.  I know we will meet again..... 
 
 

Our slip is vacant
