Enjoying Georgetown

We have started to fall back into a routine on the boat. Getting up early and listening to the local Cruisers Net and catch the weather forecast and information about the local activities. Do a few boat chores, go for a swim or hike or a trip into town then we head over to Volleyball beach for Mexican train dominoes and volley ball. There is such a warm cruising community and access to supplies here that it is easy to see why some people never leave. Tomorrow will be our first time attending the Beach Church and we are looking forward to it. We paid for the mooring for the month of January since we haven't gotten everything quite in shape for a passage yet and we are enjoying a real vacation at the moment. That will mean we will spend less time sight seeing on our trip back but will still have plenty of time for weather delays. The wind is going to get pretty strong in the next few days as the cold front that has been gripping the US arrives. Can't complain our temps are only suppose to drop into the 70's where it was 29 back home yesterday.
There were a lot of questions about our safety before we left. I cannot tell you how wonderful the Bahamians and fellow Cruisers are. We have left a credit card at a business that was kept safe and returned to us, given a ride when we were walking to the Parts Store, and on and on. The other day our dingy motor quit on us as we were crossing the harbor and our Dingy motor quit. Some young men that work at the Chat and Chill stopped and gave us a tow. We cannot say enough about everyone we have met here. I finally gave up and bought a Bahamas cell phone that can act as a hot spot. So hopefully the pictures will now upload.

Airing out our mattresses after being closed up over Christmas.
 They were just a little soggy feeling in the humidity.

It's a new maintenance free(yea right) battery

I have been trying to post this post for several days. Will start to catch up now that I have more reliable internet service.
