We have been in Georgetown now for at least a week. I have to confess that time passes here easily and sometimes I have to check the laptop to see what day it is so it’s entirely possible that we’ve been here more than a week. We have picked up guests at the airport and now we have dropped of the first guest for their return to “civilization” and we are on to our second guest.

We’ll be taking him for a ride to Long Island and all I can do is hope that the trip goes well. He’s definitely the type that gets seasick, I’m not throwing stones I have gotten seasick a fair number of times too but he basically gets seasick looking at the water so this might not be the easiest trip for him. Why do we go then? Well once we get to Long Island we can rent a car and do a day trip to the blue hole and that would be more land based than going anything we could do in Georgetown.

 
Diving in the blue hole should be an amazing experience as it is the largest documented blue hole in the world. It is also the 6th largest cave in the world and 660 ft deep. Even though it is open to the Atlantic Ocean I’m told that it is incredibly calm and an amazing experience. I’m looking forward to it. Okay I’m looking forward to it with some trepidation. Seems like I have some nervousness over things that I haven’t done before nowadays, I can’t remember if that’s something I’ve always felt or if it’s new.

Well I guess perhaps it’s conditional and depends on what the new thing is. Back in Maine, on dry land it’s not so much like this. Here things like anchoring always in new spots that are untested in winds that are close to 30 knots, with tons of boats around makes me nervous. Go figure. I think I’ve gotten better about some of it but there’s still some residual anxiousness when we go someplace new.

I told Boyd just yesterday, “You like the going somewhere, and I like the being somewhere” so at least one of us is always happy. I’ve finally realized that there isn’t much he likes better than going someplace especially someplace new. For me I’m not really happy until I’ve settled in to the some place, then I’m fine.
