Day 276. Tuesday March 25 - Still in Hope Town

Day 276, Tuesday March 25th 

Another very windy day ahead.  We head into the coffee shop early in order to post some blogs.  After blogging it is time for laundry.  We head over to the lighthouse marina as we had been told it is not as expensive as the marina.  That information however was wrong.  Hopetown has the most expensive laundry so far in the Bahamas.  It is $10 to do a load of wash and dry, a sad way to spend $20, but a necessity.  We are surprised to see another Caliber 40 in the harbour.  This one at the lighthouse marina.  After we toss 2 loads of wash in we head over to say hello to Cresenda which is a 2006 Caliber 40 owned by Mary Jane and Melvyn of Virginia.

Dark sky over Hope Town
We are welcomed on board and have a lovely Caliber chat.  Not many changes to the boat from our 1998 to 2006.  They have modified the stern railing though which makes the stern chairs much more useful.  Otherwise they look pretty much the same.  After our visit, Dawson heads back to the mothership as it looks like some very dark clouds are approaching, while Julie tends to the laundry and has a poke around the gift shop.  By the time laundry was done and Julie was radioing Dawson for a pickup it was raining hard, but luckily only for about 10 minutes.

We spend the rest of the day lazily reading.  Dawson has completed his one job of the day which was to remount the barbeque. 

Cheers

Julie and Dawson
