Oh My Goodness! How do we see and do it all in a month!

March 28th
Time, a subject that makes its way into our daily conversations. What time are we leaving. What time are we arriving. How long are we staying. How much time do we have left? As much as it frustrates us because we don't want to be pressed for time. It happens and it happens often. This was happening with us here in Georgetown. There is so much to pick and choose from. You can try and do it all, be satisfied with what you can do, or relax on your boat or the beach doing nothing at all. If walking along a beach, searching for treasures is what you like, and that happens to be one of my favorite pass times, your in for a treat here with 6+ beaches.  If you enjoy snorkeling and or diving, places abound. If you’re a social butterfly, there is yoga, volleyball and various other games on the beach, water aerobics. great Bahamian rake and scrape music playing in town three nights a week, Texas hold um tournaments twice per week, boaters socials and more. I think you get the idea. If your not spending the entire winter here you must ultimately pick and choose what you will see and do. We woke to blue sky's and sunshine every day but one. The sun was warm but the ever present wind provided the needed breeze to make it comfortable. The winds did make for wet lumpy rides to town but you cant have everything, right? Our two biggest challenges? Deciding which items on wish list had to be left off and sacrificing a day of fun to work on needed boat jobs.

 Someone made a trail and lined it with conch shells. The trail leads from flip flop beach to the beach on the ocean side

 

                                  
 The beach in front of chat and chill on a Sunday afternoon. The boats are lined up along the beach and the music rocking from the boats

I was drumming on the table while enjoying the Rake and Scrape Band at Eddies. One of the drummers came and got me. Said I had good rhythm and needed to play so he could have a break. So I did.

Tom sitting in the shallows of a beach we found at the end of Stocking Island. It looks like he is sitting on glass instead of in the water!

                             I found a bar bell made out of a pipe and two round cement weights!

The Bahamians making conch salad at the little booth on the beach keep the yucky pieces in a bucket. These pieces are used to feed the large Rays that come looking for food several times a day. I decided I wanted to feed them

They suck the conch from your hand and let you pet them. If you stop feeding them  they come up on your feet looking for more
