We are still hanging out here in George Town... We thought we would be here a week or two, but we've been here 3 weeks as of yesterday.
We've had some weather that has prevented us from moving north, but mostly we are enjoying the beaches, swimming, opening coconuts on the beach and cruising around in our dinghy.
We have seen lots of people here we've met along the way, who keep arriving daily. It's about 85 everyday and getting warmer.
Last night we had a great dinner aboard "Puff", another Tartan 37. Dave and Kathy Rizzo are from New Jersey, and we have known them since we had a little "race" in the Aligator River in North Carolina up in the Intercoastal Waterway.
Two nights ago we had a lightning storm that was magnificent. Lucky for us it was about 20 miles north of us, and would have caused 50 knot winds if it would have been right over us. We got the tail winds though, and it blew about 30 knots all day yesterday and the night before.

One thing about the Bahamas is the weather can change in a heartbeat. One minute it's calm and sunny, then the next all hell breaks loose. You have to watch the weather forecasts daily and sometimes hourly. Watch the sky and the clouds and waves all the time.
We found a place here called Crab Cay. It's a resort under construction, just like most every thing is here. It seems to take years and years to finish jobs here.
We plan to leave here next week for sure, after Preston's birthday.
Enjoy the pictures!
Chennie and Preston
