TINY HOME on The Ocean in The Abacos

🚤 Cruising to Hope Town, Elbow Cay | Exploring the Best of the Abacos!
In this episode, we take you to one of the most magical places in the Bahamas — Hope Town on Elbow Cay, located in the heart of the Abaco Islands. This historic and charming harbor town stole our hearts the moment we arrived aboard our 40ft trawler.

⚓ Hope Town Harbour is a dream destination for cruisers and sailors alike — a protected anchorage with crystal-clear waters, colorful cottages, and deep Bahamian history dating back to the original settlers.
