We get up with the sun to take advantage of the tide and head for Elbow Cay. This is a short motorsail of about 2 hours but care must be taken to avoid the numerous shoals. Arrive at White Sound and settle in at Sea Spray Marina. This looks like a nice place to stay for awhile as the facility is first rate and the surrounding area is very pretty. We take the complimentary shuttle into Hopetown and tour this quaint, historic and well kept-up town. The town is vibrant and much of the downtown is vehicle free. Visit the beach, coffee house, cholera cemetery and both grocery stores. The lighthouse and museum are for another day. We were picked up by Junior, the dockmaster at Sea Spray and spent a quiet night on the boat.
