Hopetown & Tahiti Beach, Elbow Cay

Five days at this stop has gone by very quickly. We leave tomorrow for Man of War Cay, as we start making our way north west towards Florida. The Elbow Cay Lighthouse was a fun visit. Tom went twice! The 120 ft. 101 step candy striped lighthouse was built in 1862 to warn sailors of the nearby reef. It is still operating today by a kerosene light. The views at the top were breath taking. We explored the settlement with it's tiny shops and beach. We rented a golf cart and went down to Firefly resort for lunch, which had awesome views and fantastic food. We then headed to Tahiti beach which has an enormous sand bar at low tide. With the full moon it was extra low. We found sea glass, sea biscuits, sand dollars and some other cool shells and coral. The Hopetown Inn & Marina where we have stayed is a nice resort marina with 2 pools and hot tub which we have put to excellent use. Some boats have come in with plentiful catches of Mahi, so we hope to get the line wet on the way to our next stop!
