From Georgetown back to Black Point

We had a few nice days in Emerald Bay, Georgetown, sun down in upper room with all kind of snacks..interneting..pool .. it's fun

Grand Isle Resort, we had lunch and enjoyed the scenery around the pool side restaurant ...

 

Pool Side with waterfall to the lower level (the chairs on the lower level) ...

 

and then there was the beach ... shared with the GeorgeTown Sandle Resort ...

another scene on the beach ... hmmm

Here is the Sandles Resort Pool ... the beach was closed to swimming due to weather ... so everyone was in the pool.

The Manger of the Grand Isle took us on a tour of the facility ...

An Australian Shepherd ... beautiful dog ... loved to fetch a ball .. over and over and over ... I got tired and had to retreat to the boat for a rest and a beer or two .... 

... but with rope work to do ... little rest for the Captain ...  while underway north to Black Point we get some repairs done to the lines ... these currents and surges take their toll on the dock and gound tackle etc etc ...

Here we are in a local "watering hole" in Black Point ... Happy Hour .. can't walk past that! Especially as we ramped up to the celebration of the Admiral's Birthday.

We had reserved at Lorraine's for dinner with Lobster and Seafood Platter for the rest of us .... Nora really enjoyed Loraine's Lobster ....

Lorainne's son, Joshua, was on hand to entertain ... quite the little gentleman at only 16 months!

Nora and her chocolate cake ... great cake!

You'd think that all we do is eat ... eat ... and eat ... and we are loosing weight ... hmmm!

This is one of th elocal tourist traps ... Garden of Eden ... here is a Papaya tree ... some good looking papayas in a few weeks ... wish we were going to be here at harvest time.

The owner was not there at the time, but we went around and admired the local driftwood art scattered around the property. Note the coral/limestone bed rock and the vegetation that seems to thrive in the smallest cracks and small crevaces of sand and soil.

One families dream house ... a couple live here 6 months of the year ... he is the local "Mr Fixit" and gets called to the town when the reverse osmosis unit fails ... or someones freezer stops working ... that is the way here ... you have to be handy as there are many experts ... just not that many people who reapply know how to fix it!



This is the south anchorage at Black Point that is very protected from any winds with a north component ... there were about 20 boats there ...
