Spent a second night on anchor at Lynyard Cay so we could go to Pete’s Pub in Little Harbor, Abaco that we had heard so much about.  Had the best lobster and shrimp tacos in the islands.  

It is somewhat of a tradition in the Bahamas to blow a conch shell at sunset. Walter gave it a go, he did pretty good for a first try but plans on practicing.

The next day we headed for Sea Spray Resort and Marina on Elbow Cay, Abaco.  This marina had been wiped out by hurricane Dorian in 2019.  We learned a group of investors from Charleston, SC decided to rebuild marina after Dorian, so we though it only right to support them and stay there for one night.  The marina has a lot of work to get completely up and running but the docks, power, water and showers were perfect and fully functional.  We were told that they hope to be fully operational in the next 2 years (full resort amenities). 

We also knew that Firefly distilleries in Charleston had a resort in Elbow Cay (Firefly Sunset Resort) so of course we had to go. With no bicycles or golf carts to rent the manager of the marina  Chris was incredibly kind to give us a ride there and back.  It was kind of weird, felt like we were back in Charleston.

We only spent one night at Sea Spray Marina and then headed to Hope Town where we could grab a mooring ball in the harbor for a few nights as another wind storm was going to be coming our way, again.

Playing tourist we went to the well-known Elbow Reef Lighthouse. The lighthouse is the only one of its kind in the world that is still manned by a light-keeper who uses kerosene, the 19^th century system operates completely without electricity.  The brick tower is 89 ft high and has 101 steps to the lantern room, we were able to make our way to the top.  What a view!

View from the top of the light house, you could even see our boat.

That night we watched the lighthouse as the keeper fired it up.  First there was a soft glow and then the light started, the light is 120 ft above sea level and can be seen for up to 15 nautical miles.

We also got a great picture of our boat with the light house in the back ground.
