Heading North or West?

We’re finally leaving this part of the Bahamas. We’ve spent time in the Exumas, Long Island and Conception. We’ve been in the George Town area for the past couple of weeks, playing poker, visiting friends on-shore and on-board, and relaxing. Without any idea how many are going to completed, Bettye keeps cranking out the baskets. Oh, and we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. Wow ! Who knew?

We played poker at least three times a week. Twice a week in “open” tournaments sponsored by St Francis Resort, and once a week with “locals.” These folks are Canadian, U.S., South African and others here to make a living. Read Herman Wouk’s “Don’t Stop the Carnival.” It is a hilarious look about trying to run a business in the Carribbean — So true to life after hearing tales from these folks.

Texas Holdem with on-shore friends…

New friends have a home on top of the ridge overlooking Elizabeth Harbor. What a view!

Lots of lazy days, especially with Bettye weaving, weaving, weaving. Don’t know where she gets the patience, but it’s been there for decades.

Some completed projects and one work in process…

We’ll be heading north soon… No, maybe west back to the keys. Heck, we just don’t know yet. We’ll pick up anchor tomorrow and start. We’ll head up the Exumas and at some point decide whether to go straight or turn left. Any ideas????
