Wayward Sun Sailing

Get a load of those mugs! So I have too small of a head for the helmet, guess I should have gotten a children's so it would stay down! Makes sense as I've had to buy my eyeglasses from the children's section in the past... Kinda looks like a bonnet eh!

So we've been in Gtown almost a week now and pretty much not a lot going on except boats, beaches, bars , HH's and add in some shopping. Sat, March 2nd was the BBQ fund raiser at Peace and Plenty in town. Ended up running into Southern Cross on the way over and sat with them for the most part. After they left we joined Below 40, who we had met on All In for a while. Definitely had some good food and a fun time. Everything else is pretty much a blur, like I said boats, beaches, bars & HH's for the most part. Oh, except we did rent out a scooter on Tuesday to drive around the island. We made it down to Little Exuma and stopped at Santanna's at the end of the island - cool place and they host a drop dead gorgeous view. Then it was a stop at Tropic of Cancer beach and next the new resort February Point resort for lunch. Capt'n forgot and went in the right side of the gate, ooppss they drive on the left here. Guard had to take our name and I recognized her, she is one of the laundry ladies. She had mentioned the one day having to go to another job after, guess that was it. She was laughing when I told her I remembered her from the laundry definitely a much easier job as guard. Nice lunch - then a ride to check out Emerald Bay marina at the top of Great Exuma. While there we ran into Capt'n Ron from Below 40, seems Barb has gotten sick from something and they needed to get her to a spot she can get on and off the boat. Not sure what it is, maybe from a bug bite, but hoping she gets better. I heard others talking on the vhf about diagnosing some problems, hopefully it is not something going around. He said it's like she is severely seasick, but she doesn't get seasick at all and it was dead calm yesterday. Ride back was exciting; we had stopped at Prime Meats, but didn't find anything exciting to buy. Left there and the scooter sounded like it scraped on the 1st left hander. I asked the Capt'n if the kick stand was down and he said no it's definitely up. That's something that is definitely automatic for him to do so positive he put it up. The next left hander wasn't pretty as it really grabbed the road that time and Capt'n couldn't get the scooter to turn left. Luckily no cars coming as he fought to keep control and we headed off the side of the road on the other side (oncoming) of the road. I couldn't do anything, but hold on and hope for the best trying not to unsettle things more. Capt'n managed to get the bike stopped without incident, but was a little scary for a couple seconds there not knowing where we were going to end up. We looked and the kickstand was up and nothing dragged so not sure what happened. It must have come loose and the got kicked back up hitting the road, but we'll never know. All I can say is Capt'n did an awesome job keeping things under control. Glad to get the scooter back after that and pick up some fresh caught hogfish at the Beauty Salon for Ash Wednesday dinner. Yes, at the beauty salon... Gotta know where to buy things here!

So it's Ash Wednesday and the front is rolling in now, so far not too bad, we are facing land and relatively protected. Most people are staying put, but Capt'n wants to wander into the beach for a bit. I'd rather keep an eye on the boat, but as noted before Capt'n gets a little annoying if he is stuck on the boat all day.
