Hi to all, seems like the days just flow together here... but, not wearing a watch, I'm getting pretty good about telling the time just by looking at the sun. Last two "blows" were not too bad. The Red Shanks area is good for almost all wind direction... they also have a little beach area that the cruisers get together on (and pets) for afternoon Happy Hour.. Everyone brings goodies and you meet new people each time! We are now back in front of the Palm Bay Beach Club area.. it has good wifi access and not too far from the market, etc by dinghy... the Monument is across the channel from us. Still so much to see here... Before moving over to the Shanks, we attended the Chris Parker Weather Seminar that was held in the community center in GT..Chris is the Bahamas "guru" for weather..it was fun and informative and had a cookout of burgers and dogs during the lunch break..
The George Town Cruisers Pet Parade was Monday and I helped a little with it, getting the pets lined up and in the right place to make their entrance... What a hoot..... Ami on Southern Estates dressed up as a chicken and paraded his pet "cluckers" along with the puppies!!! That was in the afternoon and the "No Talent" talent show was next and then their rock and roll dance nite followed... These guys know how to have fun!! Monday, March 1st, was the beginning of the 30th annual GeorgeTown Cruisers Regatta ... They have events almost every day ... this morning was the Coconut Challenge.. crazy people in dinghys, racing to get as many coconuts out of the water to their base.... (something you would see on "Survivor" ) The main race is next week... It is a race around Stocking Island... Anyway, fun is had by all.
More news at 11............ Linda and Dwayne
Hey, L'il Cousin. Still much enjoying your travel photos...especially since it's just barely gotten into the 50's today. It makes us feel warmer to see the beautiful water. We're anxiously waiting for Spring to get here. Guess it will be as usual, though, going from heat to AC in the same day. Our new little girl (Shana'a baby, Salem Grace) is doing well. Haven't seen her in over a week and know that she will have grown when I do get back to Monroe. Will try to email you more photos when I can. Cruise safely and I know Dwayne is taking good care of you. Much love, shirley
ReplyDeleteOMG, the water in these pics is GORGEOUS!! I am so envious but also very happy to see that you and Dwayne are enjoying yourselves. The 'pet parade' does sound like a hoot! Thanks for sharing your sailing stories and experiences so that we can enjoy them vicariously...keep 'em coming and take care, Shay
