Where in the World is Persephone ??

This is just a short post to say "hi" to all. As we mentioned, we plan on staying here in George Town for the next several weeks. Essentially, we are "on vacation" from our voyage south. Trudie is traveling to Connecticut this coming Thursday for a 10 day visit; it is her grandson's first year birthday, and she is very excited about seeing him and having some extended time with her daughter. Plus, she gets to bring back a ton of boat parts/spares which are difficult (impossible ?) for us to get in the islands.

Several of you have been wondering....where the heck is George Town, Exuma ?? Well George Town is nearly at the bottom of Great Exuma Island, in the south-central Bahamas. To give you an idea, we are only 130 miles from Cuba, 250 miles from Haiti, and 599 miles northwest of San Juan, PR. Finally, we are 1,150 miles south (as the bird flies) from Westbrook, CT, our homeport.

We are still working on the "internet" thing....we want to post pictures you may enjoy. We can't do that via ham radio do to bandwith issues. It's another beautiful day in paradise, (sunny, low 80s) we have had only a 3 minute sprinkle of rain since Christmas, literally. (The boat is just caked in salt) But, who's complaining ??!! Gotta get back to planning the day...we wanna hike some of the trails on Stocking Island, and of course, go to the beach...
