INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS CENTRE............

Laid back and just beautiful........... The real paradise. With its brilliant sunshine, even in mid-January, the coldest part of the year, and its golden beaches and tropical trees. This truly is a magnificent place to put the anchor down. Till now, we have tried to stay connected on internet and that has required us to visit the "INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS CENTER" in downtown GEORGETOWN, Exumas,(Pictures below) for our 15c/minute phone calls, internet and Skype. We sit in a row of serious faces across from a bright green wall, hunched over key-boards and we do our thing................The Stocking Island anchorage at last count had some 200 yachts floating in clear liquid. Daily they come and daily some go............AWESOME.



We rented some scooters to go see the main EXUMA island on a day when there was to be a cultural festival at the far end. Cruising of a different kind.......... We first drove to the airport to collect a parcel with autopilot parts and then to BARRATERRE to taste great food, listen to great local music which caused the "QUEEN" to break into song and dance and finally witness the Bahamian sloops racing for bragging rights............ On the way back, Global Glenn of the yacht "TREEHOUSE" was able to do his personal best of 48 m.p.h. by putting his head down below his knees.......................on a downhill slope.



The "DANCING QUEEN" with her eyes on the conch fritters frying in oil. A delicacy only available in the Bahamas. Below is a lady feeding the conch off-cuts to a cruising manta ray. Count your fingers after that exercise........ speaking of exercise, see Global Glenn do the 'big save' in a Volleyball game........



We are leaving our mark at Stocking Island in the Exumas. Check out the photo of "QUEEN" Laurie and the directional totem pole.(Double-click on the photo below) Way down below you will see our contribution.......... Now is that not the nicest pareo (sarong/lap lap) you ever saw on a QUEEN................
