Hopetown

We sailed to Hopetown on Tuesday. It is another quaint island with spetacular beaches, lots of great restaurants and bars and a museum. They are mainly known for the pituresque lighthouse. Apparently the local people were very upset when this was being built. Many of the islanders were "wrackers" which mens that they made their livliehood from salvaging the wrecks. They were known as being very honorable - always saving lives before the salvage ! Anyway I guess that the shippers won that battle as the lighthouse was built and still stands today. You can see the lighthouse in some of the pictures.
