| Boats arriving |
We have been doing a few chores, cleaning the boat, etc. while waiting for the annual Regatta to begin here in George Town. The weather, while warm, has not been very sunny, and we have had three days of off-and-on showers. Also, we have not had much wind, certainly not enough to make the races exciting. We went out to watch one of the races yesterday afternoon in the dinghy.

| Pulling up anchor and sails!! |
The boats all start out at anchor with their sails down. So when they blast the starting gun, the crew lift anchor and hoist their sails, and away they go! It is quite fun to watch the beautiful handmade boats all jockey for position. We followed the lead boat in our dinghy for most of the race, but learned later that that particular boat, Rupert’s Legend, came in second. Oh well…

| And they're off!! |

| Rupert's Legend comes in second!! |
We are leaving early tomorrow morning for a long run (85nm) as far north as Shroud Cay. We have had a lot of fun here in George Town, and now it is time to start heading north. We spent last night playing cards with Dirk and Nancy, and we got together again for brunch this morning. We will have to say goodbye today, and hope that we will meet again, either stateside, or back here in the Bahamas!!
