George Town to Long Island

We made the crossing with about 10 sailboats and arrived at Thompson’s Bay mid afternoon on Tuesday. We found that we had made the crossing with the folks from Southern Cross, Dennis and Karen, whom we had met in Vero Beach and seen at several other spots in the Bahamas. They are from Canada. They invited us to join them for a cocktail hour at 4:30 on their boat along with friends from two other boats. They are all from the same yacht club in Canada. It was a great evening.

Once we reached George Town, we no longer have TV till we get back North of George Town again. So we are all starved for news and a good movie. So, Wednesday night, we decided to have a movie night on our boat. So there were 9 of us watching that silly movie "Captain Ron." We all had a great time laughing at some of the all time great lines, only funny to other boaters.

Friday night, the local club called Long Island Breeze hosted a fun cocktail hour on their lover deck. The couple, Janet and Mike, have built a great place that will eventually have 8 houses with rooms for rent. It will be a great resort when it is all done. They have one guest house with 4 rooms available now, and are looking for people to invest. Anyone with a little extra cash that wants a piece of paradise?

Another gorgeous sunset

We are expecting my daughter Mindy, and son-in-law Jim later this afternoon for a weeks stay. We have had winds in the 20 to 30 knot range and temps in the high 60's. It is supposed to improve, both winds and temps in the next day for two. We expect to rent a car for a couple of the days of their visit to explore the island and then move the boat to a nice fishing/beach site so we can enjoy the sun and Jim can catch our dinner.
