Great Inagua Lighthouse

Built in 1870, the Great Inagua Lighthouse is one of only three remaining and (still operating) hand-wound, kerosene-burning lighthouses in the Bahamas. Standing 120 ft. tall, and easily visible from my balcony position here in Matthew Town. We climbed the stairs including the steep last ladder section to take in the view across Matthew Town. 

As always the sea is gorgeous. We strained to see a glimpse of Cuba which is 80 kilometers west but could not quite make it out…

We signed the dog-eared guest book, Fred and Sharon were here.
