Home Again in Frisco

I've finally updated our photos, and the Google map outlining our voyages (see links at left).

The weather started warming into the mid-upper '80s during the day and the mid-upper '70s at night with increasing humidity as we spent the last week around George Town, spending 3-4 days getting the boat de-commissioned and the rest of the time sipping Goombay Smash (or Tonic & Lime) at St. Francis Resort or the Chat 'n Chill.

Two evenings we spent playing a fun $5 game of Texas Hold 'Em Poker with other cruisers at St. Francis, including Jim and Liz from "Imagine" after their return to GT.  Good to see them again.

And one day we were escorted by David & Kathryn in their car, along with Boo dog,








to explore the south end of Great Exuma and Little Exuma where we had the most delicious meal in all the Bahamas at a fun, remote beach bar and restaurant - Santanas.









This area of Little Exuma is right along the Tropic of Cancer where the sun will be directly overhead in a month.










The last two nights we stayed ashore at D&K's (what great hospitality!).  And on Monday, May 17, we moved Mystique to her new home in the Hurricane Hole #3 on Stocking Island between stout pilings where she'll spend the winter.  She'll be looked after by Bob at Kevalli House right next door.  He'll open the boat up every week and start the engine and generator once a month to keep them lubricated.

We have had the most wonderful cruise this Spring, with good weather, well-behaved Mystique, great friends and exciting new destinations.




We flew to Denver on the 18th, were picked up at the airport by Kari Cutbirth (thanks, Kari!), picked up our car which they had been storing, and drove home in a SNOWSTORM!  It snowed the next day and again this morning (pic).  So we've certainly cooled off from those last muggy days in George Town!  We're dusting off our road bikes, pumping the tires and getting ready for the biking season around Summit County.


We're excited at the prospect of driving back to help Andy and Jessica move into their new home in Cleveland mid-June, and assisting Megan and Jeremy move from New York to Denver in August.  Can't wait to have them living so close to us in Colorado as they begin new careers away from the Big City.
