Some of our long time readers will remember our friends on Kindred Spirit. (See 2013-09-29 Living the Moment\u2013Class of 2013<\/a> for a refresher) We traveled part of the trip south together, but ended up going to different parts of the Bahamas. We had not planned to visit the Abacos, but the \u201cuniverse\u201d suggested a course change and we ended up coming north after all. The disappointing part of our arrival in the Abacos was we missed Al & Michele by 3 days! We each had commitments. Missing each other by 3 days was a real bummer. On the upside we will see them in a few short months in their home state of Connecticut and we are looking very forward to that visit. Our mutual friends on Eleanor Q were already in Hope Town and when we arrived. When people heard we knew Al & Michele, well we were taken in to the fold as well!<\/p>\n

I intended to write about the VERY unique Hope Town lighthouse, but I cannot do the subject justice so I am going to ask you take a moment and read Michele\u2019s description and history of this unique place. (Elbow Reef Lighthouse \u2013 \u201cThe Candy Striped Lighthouse\u201d<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Welcome back. Michele does a MUCH better job than I do! I can add some of our own pictures though!<\/p>\n

Getting back to that Universe thing. You might remember how this adventure began 5 years ago. (2013-11-05 Dealers, Enablers, \u201cWhat is Possible\u201d, All in 5 Years<\/a>) Well as we are walking down the street we meet a couple and their two children. They are on S\/V Taia which is a Morgan 46. Well as it turns out their boat was formally known as Liberty and owned by our friends Ty & Suzanne. This was the very first sailboat Annette and I ever set foot on and it is right here in Hope Town Harbor. Under the category of small world — unbelievable! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
