Georgetown and Thanksgiving

Georgetown is the busiest place we have been since we left the states. There is an active cruising community here with a Beach Curch and everything but the season has not really started yet. We are eager for Monday when Tripp and Dana will fly in to stay with us for a week. We would like to take them up to Staniel and let them enjoy what I feel is the most interesting and beautiful place we have seen so far if the weather cooperates. For Thanksgiving it has been windy and squally so we are just hanging out on the boat. The jib has been hand sewn and partially raised thanks to help from Preston, Tara and Dan. If we can get some light winds we will get it fully raised. We did find time the last couple of days to do a little exploring. We had a great dinner in town with our friends from Jalapeno last night. My first time in the dingy after dark. We did manage to find our boat although there was some question about where exactly it was in the dark. We have climbed to the top of Monument Hill ( I think we are turning into mountain goats) hiked into town and swam with a friendly dolphin that usually hangs around volleyball beach. Since there wasn't anyone over there I guess he decided to come and play with us. Preston and Tara Freddie and I had great time playing tag with him. You could tell he was enjoying the interaction. He even came back over to Jalapeno and played around with them more after we all got out and they swam back to their boat.

Monument Hill. And yes we climbed it!

He would just hang out and wait until you swam up to him and them
swim away and come back. Looks like he is grinning to me.

 



The entrance into Lake Victoria where you tie up to go into town. Tiny little passage.
 We missed it when we first went in because it was so rough and the waves obscured the entrance.
