Thanksgiving in the Bahamas

Spent Thanksgiving week 11/20-11/29 in the Abacos.  We provisioned on Saturday and spent Sunday at the resort on the beach.  On Monday 11/22 we sailed to Hope Town about 15 NM from Treasure Cay.  We reached Hope Town around 11:30 am 2 hours before low tide and went aground between the red and green cans entering the channel across from Eagle Rock.  Clay the owner of  the Harbors Edge Restaurant came out with his boat to swedged us off the ground into deeper water so we wouldn't block the channel. We anchored there until 5:00 pm before we had enough water to enter the channel.  Once inside although crowded there was plenty of depth in the habor.  We picked up a mooring, lowered the dinghy motor onto the dinghy and went into Clay's restaurant to recipocate for his helping us earlier in the day.
 On Tuesday we went sightseeing, visited the famous candy stripe kerosine light house, had a wonderful lunch over looking the Atlantic ocean at the Hope Town Harbor Lodge and Tacos for dinner at Captain Jack's on the harbor.
We left for Fishers Bay on Guana at high tide on Wednesday morning.   We arrived at Fishers Bay late morning and picked up a mooring from Dive Guana.  We did some exploring Wednesday afternoon and hitched a ride in a golf cart to Nippers at the beach.  On Thursday we went to Grabbers and spent the day at the beach on Fishers Bay.  We had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner at Nipper's Thursday night.  We sailed back to Treasure Cay on Friday morning and spent the remainder of the weekend enjoying the beach at the resort and exploring Treasure Cay before returning home on Monday. Will post some pictures soon. Heading back down for Christmas and New Years.
