January 3, 2010 6am departed Black Point for a 42 miles ocean sail with 4-8 naut winds bound for Georgetown. About halfway, the motor suddenly slowed and all hands were on deck with video, net, verbal support and one at the reel bringing in a beautiful 4 pound blackfin tuna for dinner.

We arrived Georgetown at 300pm and anchor in Gaviota Bay. Within one minute of anchoring we had 3 boats contact us by dinghy and radio that we had met during our trip. I sat in the cockpit just breathing and looking forward to being here for a month. I really wanted to land somewhere for a while to just enjoy a place without having to think about the necessities. We were brought up to speed on all the community events including art, yoga, parties, workshops etc to announced daily at 8pm on CH 68. Of several anchorages we had chosen the one that had all the activities and what the kid hangout!
Internet access is undependable and pricy. It is a priority for Bryn and Karl right now in order to complete their courses by Jan. 20. The St. Francis Marina in the bay where we are anchored offers fre internet and a mooring ball for $15 per day or $300 a month so we decided to play it safe ,with the forecast of high winds and squalls for the next 4 days ,and go on the a mooring ball in Hurricane Hole 1 the next day. After an evening of reunion with many we retired to bed at 9pm .
Good Night Georgetown, were the last words we heard on the community channel.
