Before we left Hope Town, that I know we will go back to visit, we walked some more, and climb the Light House. The view from the top is always amazing

The famous T-Shirt

..
Just look at the photos.

We came here on Friday around 1000, after an event-less motoring on flat seas and little wind. Well, it is really only less than 9 miles from Hope Town so... less than two hours and.. we are here.
We had to circle around for an hour until a slip was vacant. We already know that we will need to move the boat to another slip in a day or two but that's OK with us. (for those that like full details - we are in slip 34 and will move early in the week (maybe as things keep on changing) to slip 16.
We plan to stay in Marsh Harbour for 2 - 3 months.

My home for the next few months

Marsh Harbour is a major city and a hub in the Abaco islands. It has stores, technical support (thou limited to a degree) and even a boat yard (not that I need one). However, I do have a long list of to-do's.
One of the reason we are taking our time and stressing the boat, is the find out what breaks. And guess what it does break - so we (spelled I) need to fix it.

I have a list of things to do and I will go through them.

I/ We will also explore every thing around us.
Hani will leave me.. She is going to Israel this coming Thursday for almost 7 weeks to take care of her parents. I will miss her, but that is why she left me with her list of my To-Do!!!

Today, Monday, we took the dinghy to Mermaid Reef and went snorkeling. I go the go-pro ready, all the gear we needed, put the dinghy in the water and

Cocoa had a hair cut...

what a day - it was a new definition to swimming with the fish.
You just float in the reef and fish come to you, swim with you, and some are even happy to clean you.
