We have been anchored at Monument Beach since we arrive in Georgetown. We have also been reclusive since we arrive just regrouping. Yesterday we decided to join the world again and moved SYL to the local cruiser hangout, Chat n Chill. We beached SYL and I immediately went to my favorite place, under the boat. Last time we were here they had just installed mooring balls on one side of the Chat n Chill and created quite a stir. People had been staying at “their” spot for years and now they were going to charge you to hook to a mooring balls. The cruising community was up in arms. I guess because tensions were high when we beached SYL on the Chat n Chill beach we were told by “Elvis” ( the fella that runs the water ferry) that we couldn’t park there. Rusty asked why we were any different from the other power boats and dinghy’s that were beached there and finally we were reluctantly allowed to stay for a few hours. 
This year it does not seem to be the cruiser hangout. Most of the people we met had flown in and were staying at local hotels. Also, we were treated ver differently and welcomed when we beached SYL. My guess is that the cruisers to some extent may be boycotting Chat n Chill……I really don’t know. But we decided to anchor close by since it would be easier to dinghy income Lake Victoria from here. We were very energetic this morning. I baked some more bread which we had with smoked Oysters and Wasabi and the traditional Feta Cheese,olive oil, seasoning and greek olives. Yum!! I cleaned the ice maker and another cabinet. Rusty got the water maker working and we are now putting water in the tank. 
We haven’t been here since Rusty won the Georgetown Regatta in 2011. They have a plaque in Chat n Chill with all the winners listed. It was the first time we got to see it. It was kind of cool to see Sea Yawl Later listed. Rusty went to the St Francis today which is a resort in the same cove as the Chat n Chill and interestedly they had the winner of the Regatta as their entry……….I guess when you own the building you can create your own reality…..funny!
