Someone is playing bagpipes not far from here as the sun goes down. Other people are blowing their conch horns as a salute to old sol. Mary has hitched a ride over to Sand Dollar Beach to listen to jazz being played by various cruisers. A busy place, this Georgetown! It was a breezy day, wind in the 20s, and no new arrivals indicates it is probably pretty bumpy out there. For me, this was a nice, quiet reading day. Ironically, I am reading a great book about the Arctic. Go figure!
As I have mentioned before, this place is a real crossroads, and we have met people from all over the world. One thing that is really fun is the cruisers net at 8AM on the VHF radio. A volunteer moderator facilitates the exchange of news and helpful information between the 200 plus boats. She does a fantastic job. In a couple of months most of the boats will be gone, but the community will spring back up next December or thereabouts. Ditto for the Regatta, which I think gets started on Weds. All very exciting!
Best to all, Charlie
