Day 47 - Hopetown 2nd Time

This morning Jessica and I filled up our Jerry cans with rain water from the Man-O-War marina cistern to replenish the water tanks on Methuselah. Despite the 30 knot winds, we made the 6 mile venture back to Hopetown on elbow cay.  The cold front that just brought cool temperatures to the East Coast brought super windy conditions to the Bahamas and two overcast and cloudy days in a row. It was 75° today, but it felt much cooler with the wind and cloudy skies. We picked up a mooring ball in Hopetown again and gathered up the laundry and did a few loads at the marina laundromat….wash only for Jessica‘s clothes with drying on the lifelines with clothes pins because if they shrunk (due to their propane dryers), it would be very difficult to find the Loft clothing store in the Bahamas to replace her clothes.  We also picked up a few groceries, to say the least, it was a far cry from a Harris Teeter. Then we splurged and went out to eat at Captain Jack’s and thoroughly enjoyed the conch fritters, jerk, chicken, and mahi-mahi.  Tonight we are enjoying the Christmas tree onboard and the internet service for our Netflix show….Thanks to Elon Musk’s Starlink.
