| Cascading Bougainvilleas |
We have survived a big blow yesterday, Sunday 4th. We recorded winds of 30 during the afternoon and we believe the gusts got a little stronger around 9 or 10PM. We were monitoring the radio during the afternoon and heard a report that a gust measured at 79 to 80 was recorded in Grand Bahama. That scared us a little but the front causing those conditions passed us by. Today, Monday was hot cloudless and very very pleasant. What a difference a day makes. Chris Parker, our weather guru, has advised us to stay put here until later in the week so here we are and here we will stay. If we had to pick a location to spend a few weeks this would be it. It is the quintessential Bahamas. The beaches are wonderful, the streets and lanes are from 2 to 6 feet wide, the houses are a combination of every color under the sun and the flowers and shrubs are in bloom everywhere.

KINVARA on her mooring in paradise.
On one of the quaint lanes along the waterfront we found a wonderful coffee shop. The fact that KINVARA is tied up just a short distance away ads to the ambiance. We have had lunch and several coffee stops there during the last few days. The shop is on the second floor so there is a clear view of the harbor and the wonderful lighthouse which Hope Town is famous for.
