Georgetown, Exumas, Bahamas

Still havin’ fun in Georgetown. We have been trying out different restaurants, take aways, (Bahamian for carry out) and bars. 

Robin and I played Texas Holdem at St. Francis last week. Neither she nor I had ever played the game before. I was out before the break, but Robin was in till the last table, they start with eight tables of players so she did pretty good.

They had another Jam session of cruiser musicians at St. Francis on 

Wednesday night. Again the talent of the cruisers was amazing. The music went on till after Cruisers midnight, (9 pm). We stayed with a group of about 15 till real midnight, drinking rum and singing songs. 

The Dad and kids on Paisley performed again and we learned the story of how their boat was named. It seems they have three kids, two boys and a girl. They were considering another child preferably a girl and they were going to name her “Paisley”. Then they thought if they had another baby they could not go cruising so they said F*** that and named the new boat Paisley. They left recently to head back north, Dad announced on the cruiser’s net one morning that they had opened the last box of “Twinkies” and he feared a mutiny so they had to go back to the states.

The winds are going to settle and we are going to sail out to some of the out islands again, maybe down the Ragged’s or back over to Cat Island again.

We have had some engine problems, we hope they are fixed now, again a huge thank you to Roger Schafer for his assistance. One of the sayings here is “cruising is boat repair in exotic places”.
