Ken and Allyson joined us and we had a great time. We picked them up in Marsh Harbour, then went to Hope Town for a few nights, ending up at Green Turtle. The weather was outstanding, and we ate and drank to excess! They departed for home, and we will stay here at Green Turtle until we leave for Florida.
Sisters at the helm.
Arrival at Hope Town.
Naturally Ken found the marker where the first loyalists arrived after being kicked out of the newly formed USA.
The Hope Town lighthouse is the last kerosene lighthouse in operation worldwide. The keeper goes up each night and ignites the light. We watched one night, and it is a process.

The above three pics are from Loyalist Park, on Green Turtle Cay. Ken spent the day there!
The snorkeling has been terrific, and the wind finally let us get to the reefs about 1/2 mile offshore.
On the last day before they left, we booked an excursion with Brendal's Dive Shop.
Even Ken went snorkeling, although he claimed to have a close encounter with a shark (nobody else saw it...).
A regular Jacques Cousteau!
They cooked us a delicious lobster and grouper lunch on the beach.
And we fed stingrays!
It was a great trip! Awesome experience. Many thanks
