While in Hope Town we got some new guests to the boat….Dwane and Beverly! They came bearing the good news that they had recently got engaged! Congratulations Dwane and Beverly!!! 🙂
We set out to show them the sites of Hope Town that we had been enjoying and share this super cool place with them. First up was the beach. We took a long walk down the beach, did some swimming and pumped up the paddle board and used it for some surfing!
We had Stanley along on our beach outing and the poor little guy got hot. It’s thirsty work running around the beach! Luckily for Stanley Ryan used his ingenuity and crafted him a doggy shelter out of some sticks on the beach and the bag for the paddleboard. Stanley then dug himself out a cool spot in the shade and happily hung out there for the rest of the afternoon!
The next day we rented bikes and took a bike ride of the island. We saw some of the other beaches, had a great lunch and got a little exercise in!
Hi Ryan and Diana
My wife (Gudrun) and I own a Lagoon 400, hull # 181 named Cool Runnings (http://www.sailblogs.com/member/coolrunnings2/) and we have been following your blog and love getting all your updates…. great job!!!
We Live near Tampa FL (Madeira Beach) and keep the boat in front of our house. We would love to talk with you guys and get some ideas/advise on things we are still planning to install that I know you have already installed (watermaker, SSB etc). My email is dthibberd@gmail.com or cell # is 727-418-5656 if you don’t mind sharing.
We just came back from a 3 week trip down to the FL Keys and out to the Dry Tortugas and are hoping to cruise later this year.
Kind regards
Dave Hibberd
Hey Dave,
It’s nice to hear from you. I’ll have to get my husband to send you a note since he installed all those things and is in charge of them!
Take care,
Diana
Appreciate that and thank you!
