We're still sitting in George Town, anchored just off "Volleyball Beach" and watching the weather. The cruiser's forecaster has basically thrown up his hands and said that he can't really predict what's going to happen: either the scary-nasty low pressure system will develop, or it won't, and everything depends on that. The current weather is kind of like that, too: either it's blowing stink and pouring rain and flashing lightning, or, like now, it's dead calm. (I see big clouds building across
the harbor, though, so I suspect that's not going to last...)

Yesterday we had a nice interlude of blue skies, something we haven't seen in days, so Britt and I walked over to the windward side of Stocking Island and walked the long, beautiful beach. The seas were still stirred up from the recent storms, and the surf was impressive, big turquoise curls crashing onto the sand as they broke.

Last night we finally (gasp!) ate the last of the fish in our fridge, in a nice social dinner with the folks from the boat Asolare. No fish in the fridge! It's a disaster! We need to get away from George Town - which is fished out, and anyway fishing is now prohibited even on the Exuma Sound side of the island - and restock at the "reef market" as soon as our friends show up tomorrow!

BTW, my apologies for the lousy formatting on most of the recent posts. I forgot that I have to triple-space between paragraphs when sending non-html mail. I hope things haven't been too unreadable. Also, I am getting all the comments to this blog by email, but I can't reply unless you include your email address (or I know who you are) since I have no web, just email. (You can also just send email - kg4eyp [at-sign] winlink [dot] org.)
