Well, another week has passed. We had a good time doing the scavenger hunt on a very unseasonable, cold dreary miserable day. There were 6 of us on the team, Al and Arleen and Pat and Tom and Steve and me. Some of the things were easy to find /make such as a headdress made of palm fronds, but others took some real effort such as the wording on the proposal at the top of the hill on monument hill, and others were just plain out of the range of possibilities...a feather boa! Right, we all carry these on our boats. But we had fun anyway.
The two sailboat races went off without any problems. Where we were anchored just happened to be right on the start/finish line for the races, so we enjoyed a great day listening to and watching the races in the comfort of home
Next came the event Steve has waited for all year...the volleyball games..what a disappointment! His team lost every game. Seven games in all. Steve played very well, but his team was not very good. Some "one shot wonders.' Once they hit the ball they thought they were done. So it was a long and painful day. OH! Well! Maybe next year.
Thursday night was the closing dance with a D.J. and good dance music. Steve even got into the swing of things, and we had a very good time. For part of the evening we had a big table and everyone came to sit with us. Van and Loran arrived yesterday, so they joined us as did Rose and Frank and Ray and Bonnie. Later we were joined by Arleen and Al, and many others we had met . It was a great evening.
Steve helped with tear-down on Friday and on Saturday we made our last visit to George Town for lunch at Peace and Plenty and to do our last shopping. We purchased some nice lobsters to have for dinner. Sunday was the last Beach Church for the year. I really enjoy singing in the choir. It is fun!
