The Harbor


I found this aerial view of Hope Town Harbour that I wanted to share with you. It's too hard to tell if we are in this picture, but right now New Horizon sits smack dab in the middle of the main harbor. Now you can see why we like it here during the winter, since it is so protected that even when the wind makes us rock and blows us around, the waves can't get very big. All the boats are attached to large concrete mooring blocks with chains and two mooring lines, which works better here than using your own anchor. This way when the wind blows from all different directions, we don't have to worry about our anchor pulling out and the boat dragging. No matter where we moor or anchor, Dave immediately dives into the water and checks to make sure we are as secure as we can be.
