Today was a Good Day.

After a gray and gloomy Thanksgiving, today started with a beautiful rainbow after probably the best sleep that I have had since we got to Georgetown. The breeze was cool and with no rain it meant not closing the hatch and stifling in the humidity. We will be saying farewell to our friends on Jalapeno tomorrow as they continue on with their circumnavigation. But being the wonderful people that they are they swam over to help finish up the jib while the wind was down some. We will miss them and will keep up with their travels on their website gojalapeno.com. We cleaned out the port berth and started getting it ready for Tripp and Dana's visit. So excited and praying for good weather. Went into town and took away the garbage, picked up some supplies and enjoyed meeting some of the locals. Ms. Anita Cook is 81 years young. She praises God with every breath. Such a lovely woman we gave her one of our pens and she was sitting in front of her house still holding it when we came back by from our errands. We also met a nice young man from Montreal named Alex. He is leaving his boat here for a couple of months while he goes back to work on another boat. I think that the thing I have enjoyed the most about our trip is the people we have met that we would never have come in contact with had we not come on this cruise. When we came into town on Wednesday afternoon we had planned to have pizza. ( yes I was having a pizza craving) but the lady at the place that makes pizzas was out of cheese. She offered to run to the market and get some cheese that night but we were concerned how late that would put us trying to find our way across to our boats(also the bugs were awful that night and she only had outside seating) so I told her I would be back yesterday. Yesterday was to nasty to make the trip so we went today. She remembered us and made us a delicious pizza! Freddie has been trying to get a picture and identify what the little black things that are hanging around under the boat are for the last couple of days. He thought that they were little squid. Preston thought they we small fish. When Preston dove through them to head back to their boat today there looked to be little ribbons of ink in the water around them. Sure enough they are little squid.
Freddie took our picture after we got the jib secured
from the top of the mast before we brought him down.

Yes they are squid.
 

lots of them

Ahh... my pizza..YUM

The Pizza Hut Bahamas Style complete with only outdoor seating.
The rest of the pizza building also contains groceries.

Another popular eating place next to the grocery store.
 You walk between them through the back to the dingy dock.



Yes it was a good day!
