Hard at Work in Gtown


The pace has picked up as the Cruising Regatta looms large in the Elizabeth Harbor anchorage. Wayne is totally hooked on his Total Immersion swimming program, and is practicing in the 74-degree water now as I sit at J&K on the internet again. He is the busy one this year, with daily volleyball practice and competition, as well as meetings of the various activity chairmen and putting together a band. He has taken it upon himself to put together this year's version of "White Folks on Boats". The cruisers were requested to do so and to participate in the Bahamian Music Festival to be held in late March. This is a tradition that has gone on for quite some time and it would be a shame not to participate. So, we are going to perform his new original "Georgetown Funk" as well as a few other songs, accompanied by a couple of other cruisers on guitars. Wayne will sing a couple of songs, our friend Doug will sing a couple, and I am mortified by the idea that they want me to sing a couple of songs as well. I probably will not load that performance up to UTube as my singing has never been of the appropriate calibre. Be that as it may, what happens in Georgetown, stays in Georgetown. There is ridiculously little other news to report except that our friend Mary will be arriving soon with her sister. We look forward to hanging out with them at the Peace and Plenty pool and perhaps even taking a real shower.

Just look at you guys singing in the sunshine. Who cares about a real shower when the water is 74degrees. Good for you! You are not missing a darn thing in Marquette except more snow and more cold. Reading your blog is as close as I will get to a tropical island vacation this year so keep the good times coming.
