We met with the Sexy Sailors (those who are here) at Miguel and Carmen´s and had a lovely time. It was great that they allowed us to party at their home. We making plans for a flotilla in the near future. Bahamas beware!
Now we are getting ready to join Sweet Tides. Apparently Sweet Tides wanted to grab the headlines in our absence. They had a couple of wonderful days in Lee Stocking Island but on the third day the wind picked up and their trip back to Georgetown was no picnic with strong head winds and 8ft waves. They made it but yesterday when they were coming into the anchorage in front of the marina, two boats were blocking the channel they went around and went aground. All efforts to get them out were in vain, so they had to wait a couple of hours for the tide, while looking at the rocks in front of them and hoping not to be thrown against them. But all ended well. However the Georgetown Net the following morning recorded the incident and efforts are being made to mark the channel and prevent people from anchoring there. Sweet Tides wanted the limelight and got it. Big time!
Zingaro and Sweet Tides are now reunited in the marina so hopefully they will behave until we make it there tomorrow. The next few weeks will be very active, we have Tom and Bobbie who must be on the boat already and Idette's sister and her husband, then Joanna and my friends Ana and Armando all the way from Brazil!
