It makes my head spin thinking we have been in one place for such a long time! Hope Town is the easiest place in my opinion to be of any where we have gone. The weather is perfect, water outside the harbor is spectacular. Provisions, nightlife and secure moorings are all right here. What not to love? In addition it is a great place to catch up boat chores like sorting screws on a Sunday morning while watching the talking heads on TV. This is one of the few places we get television, well we get it sometimes here\u2026welcome to the Bahamas. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/2015_03_15_11_01_28_AWB-001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"2015_03_15_11_01_28_AWB-001\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"2015_03_15_11_01_28_AWB-001\" src=\"http:\/\/a2baker.com\/magnoliablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/2015_03_15_11_01_28_AWB-001.jpg\" width=\"644\" height=\"484\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was also time for fresh lines on the anchor bridle.
