2026-01-17 Back to Georgetown. Volleyball and boat work.

Sunday we sailed to the north end of Long Island and anchored for the night, so we would have a better angle to sail to Georgetown on Monday.  Nice short sail, and even got a short visit from a solitary dolphin.

Not a great photo, sorry

The anchorage was calm, which is very unusual for Calabash Bay, but the evening was not great. We were relaxing when a couple of huge moths landed on the screen door.   Kris is not a fan of moths.  She could not relax with them there, so made Dean turn off all the lights and sit in the dark until they left.   She was a bit freaked out all night.

Huge moths.  Would like to never see them again

Monday we had a nice downwind sail all the way to back to Georgetown. We anchored off of town, as the winds were expected to clock from South to West to Northwest to East in the next couple of days.  Several other boats had the same idea, and the anchorage was fairly full.

Tuesday, Dean went in to play volleyball, and Kris worked on refinishing wood on the boat.     

Our doors sucked up the varathane, overdue for some maintenance

Wednesday more of the same, but in the afternoon we went to town, to get more foam brushes, and a few groceries, but of course had to stop and get some ice cream as well.  Got back to the boat just in time, as it started to dump rain.   Had a nice rainbow afterward though.

Thursday and Friday morning volleyball was cancelled, so Dean played in the afternoon. Friday, we moved from Georgetown anchorage over to Sand dollar anchorage.  Kris still working on the wood.   Dean took the screens off of our relatively new outdoor speakers which had already decided to rust, and cleaned them and painted them white again.

Disappointing, our outdoor speakers rusted so quickly, look better now though.

Saturday saw morning volleyball back on.  Kris has the V berth and guest bath done, and has almost finished the master bath and has started on the guest cabin.  Work is going slow, with removing all hardware, cleaning, sanding, cleaning, then applying a coat each day.    Doing the boat in sections, so only one “room” at a time, is a mess.

We will hang here in Georgetown until our son and girlfriend come for a visit on Feb 1.
