So......it seems dinghy motors have minds of their own. Who knew that a few grains of sand could put them in the ER? After not one, but TWO surgeries ours is back in good shape. All it took was taking apart the carburetor and boiling everything in soapy water. After a couple of days, Bob is back to hauling water from town.

The regatta is in full swing and it's been fun to watch, right from Adastra. Makes doing the laundry, by hand, less boring! We've met some very nice people here, and plan on heading out (weather) Friday, with Silvio and Varina, a Swiss couple with a 41 Morgan Out Island. Ed and Betty, you would love their boat, especially the front loading washer/dryer combo.

VHF channel 68 is the cruisers way of communicating here. And boy, do they communicate. The social life in Georgetown can't be matched, it's easy to see why so many people stay here year after year. Dinghy drifts, (fun idea for MSA), poker nights, and all manner of get togethers. I am ready for some quiet though and can't wait to take off for points south.
