Today’s Inlet: Isle of Hope.
Date : June 3, 2011
We passed through Hell Gate yesterday. It was narrow and very shallow. Then we were delivered to Isle of Hope. I adore it. She lays the southern charm on thick, and it works. I read somewhere the island has been used as a setting in Forrest Gump. Which is exactly how I would describe this place – it feels like it came right out of the movie. This is the Chapel of Our Lady of Good Hope (established 1874).
