The Dragon Returns

We are back in Hopetown. Had a great time at Mangoes in Marsh Harbour, made a couple of Conch Horns while there and finally learned how to blow one. I gave the extra shell to Vickie on Victoria Gaye. We both had a great time blowing horns with the rest of the cruisers on the dock there in the evenings.

The weather has really improved. Still plenty of wind which makes the outside anchorages bouncy but nice and calm here in Hopetown. When we arrived Monday there was only a double blue float mooring available. We took it and waited for someone to collect -- didn't know who had the blue ones. Well today the Hopetown Inn and Marina shuttle (pontoon boat) stops by and I'm wondering why he is so close -- well the mooring belongs to the marina and he was here to collect. Mystery solved.

Yesterday was a great kite flying day so I took the 30 foot Dragon out and the Tristar and went to the beach. This time I kept the kites from sailing over the sand dunes and they were both quite behaved. The Dragon looked great up against the clear Blue sky yesterday. Today I'll take the rotating kite over there.

Tomorrow we expect to take the big boat to Tahiti Beach and anchor off. Got to fly kites there and tomorrow night we should be able to take the dinghy over to Lubbers Quarter and Cracker P's for the full moon party. Never been to one before so looking forward to that.

Should be a great day at Tahiti beach with low tide at 2:21pm tomorrow and maybe we can find some sand dollars.
