Yesterday
we celebrated a lovely Valentine’s Day, beginning with a breakfast of bacon and
heart-shaped French toast on the boat, and ending with a gorgeous dinner at St.
Francis resort – crab salad and conch chowder, rack of lamb and all the
fixings, and tira misu and cheesecake for dessert – yummm!
In between,
we dinghied all the way across the harbour (first time) to do errands in George
Town, including contributing to the library fund-raising to build a new roof on
the local library. The sailors here are very active in contributing to the
welfare of the local community.
Then back
to fun ‘n games on the boat to prepare for the Regatta costume party (“under
the sea” theme) – for which I created an octopus top hat J. Granddaughter Stella called in the
middle of that, and I was able to show her my creation on What’s App – she got
quite a kick out of seeing her aging grandmother making such a fool of herself!
Regatta
continues through next week, then our friend Susan comes to join us, and we
start some serious sailing again – possibly Long Island, Conception Bay, Cat
Island. Until then, the pics and stories will be frivolous – but what’s life
without a little of that?
