George Town

Our third day anchored at Georgetown. We have met some great folks at the Chat n' Chill, played with stingrays near the beach, eaten conch salad (raw conch chopped up with tomatoes, green peppers, and hot peppers), and sample many varieties of rum drinks. This has been a good place to catch up on some minor repairs, and pick up provisions. It has also provided some time for quiet reflection and enjoyable conversations. We've had time for some terrific snorkeling, attempted to swim with dolphins, enjoyed conversation with the locals and even managed to squeeze in a friendly night of Texas Holdem' with some of the more permanent cruising crews. Jerry and Richard departed early this morning, we enjoyed their company and hope they have made it back to their families safely.
We just finished another wonderful grilled dinner prepared by Capt. Mark with a terrific sunset as a backdrop. We will probably spend another full day here, pick up two more crew tomorrow, depart on Sunday, and continue the adventure.
