Beautiful Bahamian Day







Our last cold front is over and we are having a beautiful day today. It's sunny, about high 60's to low 70's in the shade and life is good! We are getting loads of laundry done early, Internet stuff, then back to the boat to hopefully get our kayaks together at last. Tomorrow we are attending a weather seminar by Chris Parker, our Caribbean weather router, along with loads of other cruisers. there are now apx. 250 boats in Georgetown but there is lots of room for everyone to anchor. Elizabeth harbor is about 1.5 miles across and boats anchor on both sides. Peter is picking up his rebuild kit for the wind generator so life is good! We spend our down days on the boat reading manuals and trying to understand the systems so we can fix things as needed. The best part about being here in Georgetown is having an incredible support net. All you have to do is get on VHF 68 (hailing channel here) and ask a general question for help and people respond very quickly. They have changed the beginning of the cruisers regatta to Monday instead of Wed. because of another strong front coming through Tues. night. So our next blogging time will probably be Monday. Everything is closed on Sundays.
