A Note from Clark

Friends,

Just back from a week in the Abacos with my wife and good friends. We rented a house in Hope Town and ran the boat across as our exploration rig. First time I have done the Bahamas in a fast cruiser, and what a trip. So many of the best spots over there are boat-only, and with speed, the options open up fast. If you have a boat, take it. If you are looking for one, you know where to find me.

Fair winds,
Clark
