George Town, Exuma, Bahamas (2)

Well yesterday was another day in this little piece of paradise. It started off with the girls catching up on a bit of internet time at a small resort very near where we are anchored. While there, we were invited to a noodling party and to another pot luck. The noodling party is where everybody meets at a spot with something to float in the water with and also brings their desired beverage. We were all to meet at the stern of the “Albino Wino”, a power driven catamaran owned by a couple from Edmonton. It was Lori’s birthday, so Jenessa went to work and made her a wonderful orange cake with lemon glaze and lime zest. It was quite a hit. After the noodling party was over we had to rush back to make something to take to the potluck. This was held at Hamburger Beach where we actually had our first beach fire of the trip. It seems a lot of cruisers come down to the Bahamas and only about 10 – 20% actually continues on South. When cruisers hear we have been further south they want to hear about our escapades, so there is never a lack of things to discuss. Also it seems there are regular impromptu sharings, like basket weaving or sarong tieing etc.

Today is the first day of calm seas north and south of this anchorage as a cold front passed through a couple of days ago. So the morning was spent watching and listening to all of the boats that were heading out from here. We figure at least 20 pulled up anchor in our vicinity and headed out within the last hour. We will hang out here for probably a week awaiting some mail and while we work on receiving Lily.
