Coordinates and Sunsets

White Sound Sunset

July 18th, 2018 - A quick update from the island. We woke up and enjoyed our daily coffee this morning and a passing rain shower made its way through. We have noticed that most showers and storms pass through quickly; many dumping heavy rain on some other cay, but not here. We spent lunch time and early afternoon at the Abaco Inn. Lunch was tremendous - we ordered chicken fingers, chicken wings, lobster fritters, and fries. No one said we were going to eat healthy while here. Another afternoon at Hope Town Beach was on the agenda and, as usual, it did not disappoint. My wife and I made our way down that glorious stretch of white, sandy beach to the area you would encounter if you walked the path from Vernon's, pass the basketball court and pool, to the beach. You see, we were married here. June 16th, 2006 - Mr. Vernon Malone officiated. A small shower threatened to ruin the proceedings, but it quickly dissipated and gave way to a rainbow out over the ocean. Ironic and appropriate, that my wife's name is indeed Rainbow. I know those coordinates well. We wear them after all. After some of mom's chicken pot pie, it was back to Abaco Inn for dessert. The drive south is always beautiful late in the day. At one point on the island, you are perched at the top of the sand dunes with the roaring Atlantic to your left and peaceful Sea of Abaco on your right. The sunsets here are worth every penny you spend just to get here. You can't go wrong with the chocolate silk pie or the fried pound cake. Delicious. And with the waves crashing against the ironshore, it makes for an ideal setting for an evening snack. The ride back through the evening cool offers up the opportunity to look up. The Hope Town sky, completed with more stars than you could possibly count, never disappoints. Tomorrow is our last full day on the island. I hesitate to write more - not ready for that yet.
