Well today we learned a wealth of information about the history of the Abacos from our visit to the Wyannie Malone Museum during Hopetown Heritage day. Men women and children were attired in the clothes of the 1700´s. Numerous photos, models, maps and artifacts provided an interesting learning environment. Three rooms in this small but well thought out museum are furnished with tools, furniture etc. donated by the first loyalists descendants. Of course there were tables of Bahamian food to sample as well as local arts and crafts. Tuesday we will leave Sea Spray and anchor at Marsh Harbour for a few days.
