We are spending a few days on a mooring in Hopetown Harbor, a special place that still retains a charm despite the invasion of tourists. The first night or two we anchored off the lighthouse and as darkness fell, I watched through binoculars as the keeper lighted the kerosene lamp. At first just a small spark in the darkness, then a pail orange glow, finally the bright warm light of the lamp shone out and the lense began to rotate, sending its occulting beam across the Elbow Cay Reef. The candy striped lighthouse is one of the prettiest sights in the Abacos.
