A quick but busy visit to George Town

The time began,

Early on March 4^th.

6:30 we left,

And walked out the door

Boston to Charlotte,

Then Nassau too.

And off to Georgetown,

Three planes we flew.

Patricia and Elvis,

Planes, car and a boat.

At 9:30 we arrived

For three days afloat.

For Tess and Lynn,

It had been 20 years.

Since they saw each other

There were many tears.

Tony and Tess,

Amazing hosts.

Gave us their cabin,

And a wonderful toast.

Four days of Exuma,

A few things to note.
The highlights enjoyed,

On the IP 45 boat!

The food just rocked,

Even more than the surf;

Thanks to Tess’ great cooking,

On her home turf.

Early on Saturday,

It was off to the race;

Tony, I and a crew,

Hoped to save face.

There were jibs and sheets,

And sails in our face.

My job was to grind,

And we took 3^rd place.

Tony says grind

And adjust the “travel”;

And I say what else,

Should I get out a paddle?

Messenger, Pain Killer,

And Skedaddle too.

A GA from Northwestern

Can you believe it’s true?

A lost soul at sea,

Maybe just a paddler.

We found him though,

It was Ken Sadler.

The mornings were great ,

The snow far gone.

Listening to the “Net”,

And Rockin’ Ron.

Then confusion set in,

On Tony’s great Endurance.

When we forgot the name,

And called it Insurance.

Rumor has it,

He’s changing the name.

Cause he loves the stuff,

Who can you blame?

Take & Toke,

Or Chat and Chill.

Food and drink,

We had our fill.

And our favorite dish,

There was nothing to lack.

Tony grilled to perfection,

Our fish friend, Bar Jack.

Then off to St. Francis,

One last night to pass.

With great new friends,

And a dingy with no gas.

As Sunday night wound down,

And we stowed all the play

Tony and I

Conquered Mount Gay!

Or it conquered us,

It’s hard to decide.

I slept great that night,

Beside my bride.

Special thanks go out,

For Tony & Tess.

For extending their home,

Our lives have been blessed.

Be safe as you said,

To all the new places;

And enjoy each day

Seeing new faces.

We quickly are missing,

The ocean so blue.

So one last shout,

Thank you, thank you!!

Jeff & Lynn
