Race Week

It's been an exciting week, here in George Town!
As I mentioned last post, Ted's been crewing in the races here, and the Seawind he was racing on swept the awards ceremony clean! They came in first in one race,

and second in another, thereby winning the "best overall category". (that means a big flag and a bottle of rum!)

Thanks, Captain Rusty for sailing such a tight ship-


Dinner at the Chat N' Chill is one of our favorite things to do... this is fine dining. We enjoyed dinner with Rusty and Linda and Matt and Christie before the awards ceremony last night.

If you'd like to see more (and better!) pics, you can check two other websites... sittononthebeach.com and svkaleo.blogspot.com . Their sites are much more professional than mine... but they're sharing their secrets, so someday maybe I'll be as cool as they are.


Back porch friends are best- even on sailboats. These guys are hangin' out, just planning the day. "What are you guys doing?"
"Ah... we need produce and propane, so we're going into town."
"I don't want to go in today... will somebody take my garbage in for me?"
"Sure. Got any extra tokens for the laundromat?"
...that kind of stuff. :)

George Town has been a great place for community, for sharing tips and stories, and for good entertainment. It's been fun, but it's time to move on soon. (We've actually already moved to a less populated anchorage- accompanied by our friends on Sea Yawl Later and Kaleo). Tonight there's a variety show (and Bahamian Street Dinner) in town, tomorrow after church someone will fly in with a single sideband radio for us- and then Monday or Tuesday we'll sail on towards the more remote islands. Moving on will mean leaving our new found friends- and we'll really miss them!- but the beauty of it all is we'll find them in another anchorage on another day...and pick up right where we left off! And if it doesn't happen spontaneously, we'll hunt them down. :)

I leave you with a snapshot of a couple of old goats we met along the way. They have their very own island, mind you!

TTFN! (ta-ta for now.. didn't Winnie The Pooh say that?)
