Gerogetown is a little city with hundreds of boaters hanging around the bays.

Our previous crew left yesterday at 5:15am and our new crew arrived yesterday at 5:30PM.  During such time Ben and I had only enough time to do laundry (the sheets and salt covered clothes) get groceries and here is the most important… Ben had to get the dinghy working. Our outboard stopped working.  Well I take that back, it starts but it does not keep working unless you hold out the choke and nurse it that way. He went to the town dinghy dock to work on it and a few people were there to cheer him on to affirm him to get his carburetor cleaned out. So he is my hero for the day.

 

The new crew arrived, Annie, Chelsey and Dan.  With the new crew comes new excitement! (Oh sorry I can’t post pictures cuz we did not have enough time to find a wifi place before they showed up)

 

The winds are still strong NE winds so we decided to hang around the bay and feed the fish from the cave. We saw two sting rays all hidden in the sand. It was a good time.  We went over to the other side of the island where the wind is rip-snorten-up good wave action. Even bigger than last week. We swam in the waves and crashed into the sandy beach. We body surfed the best we know how and just plain played in a huge wave pool of sorts.

 

We ended the night with games… stayed up late which is a switch from all our other crews.  Mostly each previous week the crew is asleep or in bed by 10p or earlier. But not this crew, I think we stayed up till 1:30 or so.  Chelsey crushed us in Hearts. Well Dan was a close competitor the whole night while Annie and I fought over the rear, and Ben was in the middle most of the night.
