Little Harbour to Hope Town

We stayed in Little Harbour on the mooring ball for the night and in the morning I setup and expedition to find one of the caves that I had read about of the Internet. It said to go down this road and look for a ribbon and the walk up a path and then to climb into a hole in the ground. We couldn’t find it. Oh, well. We went to look at the big cave in the harbour, which was okay, but I was disappointed that I could not find the other cave.

We left Little Harbour around 1200 and made our way to Sandy Cay which was one of the tips from the couple at Pete’s Pub. As we got there we could see that just about all of the day use mooring balls were taken. However, we found one that we could get on. A thunderstorm was moving in so we just hung out for a while and had lunch. As it passed through everyone left. When it was gone in 20 minutes we were the only one’s there and the sea was flat glass calm. Perfect conditions for us to dive in.

We rigged our gear and splashed. Very beautiful site with lots of colorful fish and coral. It was only a 25’ dive but it was worth it to dive. We went into the current at the base and came back on the top. Back on the boat Christy had a bit of a headache so we got here some aspirin and she rested. After a while she felt better. We rinsed and packed away our gear and headed out for Hope Town.
Once we made it to Hope Town it was almost sunset and Jane and the girls felt better about anchoring outside the harbour as it has the same type of shallow entrance as Little Harbour did. So that’s what we did.

That night we played our evening game of Mau. It’s a lot of fun on the boat, although it can be quite frustrating. Check it out at:
