We got into Georgetown just in time for lunch at the The Big Tuna. It was on the water and very rustic. There was a small alligator hanging out below the dock and several turtles. I am quite sure they get quite a few handouts from the patrons. The town is lovely quiet and quaint. Not too touristy but just enough shops of good quality to make it interesting. We walked down to the fish market where the shrimp were still in the baskets from the boat. Dinner was delicious.
We stopped at a shop next door that was half store and half workshop. The gentleman was making a replica of an old skiff for a family that owns the original.
After that we had a few rainy days and just sat on the boat with nothing pressing to do. I broke out my jewelry making stuff, got on youtube and tried my hand at turning some of the treasures I found into jewelry. It was really fun to be creative!
The second rainy day, we dug in and got all our bookeeping, old and new mail taken care of. I was way behind and Scott ready me numbers from columns to speed things up. It feels good to get that monkey off my back.
We had great dinners on board and watched a few movies. It felt refreshing to just sit with no planning and map reading. I hadn’t realized there is a certain amount of stress with the planning every day where to go, check ing tides, checking weathers and finding safe anchorages or inexpensive marinas. When we do get to a location then we have to learn where to go and choose what to see and not see. Sitting felt good.
South Port was a cute tiny town we dinghied in from anchor. Walked and saw some cute houses and a handful of small stores. Love these little towns.
Some of the ships we see are giant. This thing is miles away with a strip of land between us and it still looks this big.Sorry some of my posts are out of order. I was having some difficulties with my pictures, but think I have it all sorted out…for now
Thanks for reading,
Karen and Scott
