Bingo and Tahiti Beach

Life is different on the islands. No one is connected to their phones, mostly because there is lousy internet here. People walk and spend time on the beach and just enjoy this beautiful country. On monday nights Marina Jacks has bingo at 6pm. All the proceeds go to the school. Many of the events the proceeds benefit the kids. It is wonderful to see this. We had a group of 8 to 10 of us planning to play bingo. We got there at 4:30 and the place was packed already. The “Have an Other Day” bowed out because they have 2 small children, but Trawler Life and Last Call were in. We found some extra chairs on the dinghy dock, got one small table from the restaraunt and one from Trawler Lifes boat. We were set. Then “Tipsy Gypsy” showed up. They went back to their boat and got a foldable picnic table and we squeezed in on the end of the pier. We were cozy but having fun. We decided if any of us won the $400+ pot that we would split it. It started to rain but the bingo cards are plastics so no worries. It only rained a short time. None of us won but we were all richer for the friendships we are developing.

It started to rain. That won’t stop a bunch of boaters, just break out the foulies (Rain coats)

Tahiti Beach! Tidings of joy Trawler life and Last call convoyed there by dinghy. It was a little bouncy for a dinghy but so worth it when we got there.
