Sailing Home: Purple Sunsets, Refueling, and One Last Night in Hopetown | Ep. 39
In this episode we'll show you what it looks like to wrap up a trip should you chose to charter Serenity or any of the Cruise Abaco boats. We start in Green Turtle, shoot over the Whale, then anchor under the Elbow Cay Lighthouse near Hopetown. We explore the area, have dinner at the marina, watch a glorious purple sunset, and then back to Serenity for the night. The next morning we pull anchor and make the quick jump over to Marsh Harbor, the Abaco Beach Resort, and Boat Harbor Marina. We show you what it looks like to tie up at the fuel dock, refuel both Serenity and Firefly, then a quick hop to Serenity's slip, docking there, then repowering the boat before we head back to Oklahoma for a couple of months to knock out some work stuff. We always hate leaving but we are excited that we'll be back in just a few weeks for another fun trip - next time with Katelyn!
We hope you enjoy this one. And thanks, as always, for letting us share our story with you.
Cheers!!
Lisa & Chris

Lisa and Chris's adventures. This is the story of a couple with a dream to buy a boat now, put it into charter so we could use it until we are ready to (hopefully) retire early, then sell basically everything, move on to the boat, and live as cruisers in the Bahamas and the Caribbean. This is a 7 year plan that we're well into realizing. Once we achieve our goal we will continue to bring you along on our adventures. We hope you enjoy our story!
