Tuesday 06 April - Saturday 17 April Hopetown, Abacos 0 Miles.

Hung out in Hopetown to recharge the batteries (ours, not the 4D AGM’s)

Jorgen’s project: Hack sawed the dinghy motor lock of – lesson learned – do not leave your dinghy motor lock on for 4.5 months in the harsh salty marine environment of the Bahamas. No amount of WD40 will undo the damage done. We need to get the lock off so we could put the Beast on the foredeck for our return journey

After 1 hours of hectic sawing in the blazing sun, three (all I had) hack saw blades later the lock came of and the neighboring boat came over in their dinghy and gave me a well deserved cold beer.

Our pals on catamaran Boomerang host a wedding ceremony abroad. The exchange of vows took place underway in the Sea of Abaco and as the bride and groom returned to harbor we all blew our horns, conchs or anything that made significant noise, as the newly weds were paraded around the harbor – congrats guys

We decided to blow out some cobwebs and rented Bicycles for the day. We cycled all the way to Tahiti Beach some many miles away over hilly terrain – now folks these bicycles only have one gear- we were so ready for a beer by the time we reached the southern tip of the island. So we bar hopped our way back and enjoyed Long Island Ice Teas at On Da Beach.

More projects: Changed oil in dinghy motor and Honda generator.
