Hope Town Lighthouse





This light is the only operating light house in the Bahamas and is one of the last lights that is lit by kerosene. The original Fresnel lenses are superb craftsmanship and it gives you goosebumps at night as it rotates around......every second a beacon for 5 seconds and then 5 seconds of dark! We climbed up today and had the opportunity to see the surrounding area from 100+ feet in the air!!

Can you find Grey Hound?

Yes, Picture center, about 1/3 the way up the dark hulled sailboat's mast. LOL

She's one-of-a-kind to my eye.
