Friday March 11
Today Quentin and Yarika and Cookie Monster went paint-balling!
Apparently they had fun! We stayed on
this side because we had stuff to do and I had a wrap-up meeting about the
Regatta. I had the stuff from the
Scavenger Hunt so I had to go. It was nice... there was a ton of snacks for us
and our first drink was free so Jillian and I had a pina colada. I, um...think I volunteered to be co-Chairman
next year...I must have because Jeannie announced it on the Net the next
morning. And Dwayne from BoomDeYada came by to tell Rick he would be crew for the big boat race
since I would be too busy with my chairman duties to go sailing. Probably should
NOT drink pina colada.
Quentin was supposed to go to this meeting but...hmm
paintball? Meeting with old people? Tough choice! Everyone at the meeting came
up and told me what a great kid he is...and everyone gave different examples of
what they liked about him. They all asked if he was coming back next year...
Saturday March 12
Today we took the boat south to clean the head... not a nice
job but somebody has to do it. Quentin was still on Yarika and they were going
to spend the day on shore. We thought we'd be back by noon but it took us
almost two hours to get down against the wind.
Didn't take long to clean the toilet but then we went into
an anchorage and had a salt bath. We were just enjoying the water when another
cat pulled in so we had to get out and put our clothes on.
We sailed back twice as fast as we motored down. We went into
Georgetown to get some stuff for the kids for dinner. I made Quentin, Claire
and Aran burgers and fries and ice cream. They watched movies and we went over
to C-Soul who came in at suppertime.
The kids went home at 11 pm.
Next week when Cookie Monster has some guests come in we said we'll give
them some adult time and take the boys for an evening.
SUNDAY, March 13
Fourteen boats headed north this morning, on their way home
to various continent destinations. They are taking their time to let the snow
melt but still, it seems early. Part of me wants to be heading back but I think
it's because I feel the need to change venue, so we are still talking about
heading over to Rum Cay for a visit and to drop trees.
Today is Cordell's day at the beach. Then I have to get some art stuff ready for
the 75-80 pre-schoolers who will be at Regatta Park tomorrow. I agreed to set
up an art station for them. I also have to go to see the schools Commonwealth
Day exhibits. I'm curious to see what
they set up. Then the rest of the week
is back to school.
SO if anything exciting happens, I'll get back to you J
