Back in George Town

Clay and I arrived back in GT in time for Valentines. Since this is the snowbirds cruisers paradise alot goes on. We dropped the hook just as the sun was going down over Elizabeth Harbour. If my pictures get posted, I took one just so you can see how many boats come down. Usually it is close to 400, but this year the total at one point was 260. (Make that 261), we wanted to join in all the craziness that goes on. So, first on the agenda was the Valentines dance at Chat-n-Chill on Volleyball Beach. Karen and Ron from "Sea Dancer" hosted the event. They had a geat sound system set up and played some great tunes. We were suprised to meet up with our good friends we were docked next to in Georgia a year ago. Phil and Margaret off of "Sunshine" They were just guppies when we first met them, but now they are groupers!!! It was a real treat for us to catch up on all the cruising stories. Another surprise was meeting Patricia, a fellow highschool classmate. We had too much fun playing the " do you remember so and so " game. She and her husband Doug are from Glen Rose TX. We also met up with the Christmas gang from Nassau. Margaret and I went to a Sprouting Seminar, (how to grow sprouts on your boat) which was interesting. So far my little herbs are doing great. Shadow had to check them out after we brought them on board, she approved. Chris Parker is the weather guru for cruisers and we were lucky enough from him to come to GT for a seminar. The cruisers regatta will be this month and the activities have already started. Saturday night was the Red Hot kick off with a pet parade, the no talent talent show and just a great gathering of cruisers. (and no, I didn't make Shadow suffer thru a parade). The actual race will begin this coming wkend along with the local Heritage Music Festival, then next month, it will be the family island reagatta. I'll keep you posted on that. Let us hear from you too!!!!! As always, we are the Happy Cruisers!!!!
