We had to work hard to sail south for the warmer weather and in the wink of an eye I'm back in frigid temperatures and snow!  Persephone is anchored in Georgetown with Jerry aboard while I flew back to NY to spend the holidays with family.  He has no interest in leaving the 80 degree temperatures and palm lined beaches.  In fact, today he went snorkeling and came back with fish and lobster for the freezer.
Before I left we enjoyed walking the beaches, snorkeling, visiting with locals and other boaters, backgammon, watching meteor showers on the foredeck.  There were many boat projects to attend to but that messes up my story of a life of leisure.  I will be flying back to Georgetown in January.  Then we will head north a bit to Staniel Cay in the Exumas where our friends, Dave and Lesie flying in from Seattle, will join us aboard!  Dave and Jerry sailed together on Lake Ontario for years.  Looking forward to their visit.
Until then, wishing you happy holidays and a peaceful new year!

Can you imagine the surprise and concern I caused paddling around with this doll I found on the beach?  It does look like a real baby with no life jacket precariously perched on the bow.

The “terminal” at Georgetown International Airport that can seat 100 people decorated for Christmas.

My good friend Debbie came to pick me up at midnight at the airport.  The next day her husband Brian let me help out at Lock 1 Distillery while I waited for my big brother (also Brian) to come pick me up.  Here we are at the tasting room of the distillery in Phoenix, NY.  Come check it out!
