Trapped in Paradise

Not really but it feels like it.

The weather forecast for this week is poor for traveling. If you want some time to just sit and contemplate then it will be good for that. Nothing horrendous but wind forecast is for too much for pleasure boaters and squalls and thunderstorms for Tuesday night and Wednesday. We need to make plans for what to do this week here in "Paradise". I won't bore you with the lows and highs of temperature because you would kill for these temps this time of year.

The big event yesterday was going to the Hopetown Lodge for dinner last night -- a belated valentine celebration. It was Prime Rib night and it was delicious. This was our first time in the lodge and it was very nice. Very tastefully decorated and a very pleasant staff. They have a wall of photos from Hopetown through the early years -- mostly 30s, 40s, and 50s. Very nice and note -- none of the men had "beer guts". That is a modern day affliction even if men don't drink beer.

Even though we might feel trapped here this week at least we can get off the boat anytime we choose and walk the town and explore different places we haven't visited yet. Might do some more kite flying if I can get some winds going out to see -- I don't like the winds going over the dunes -- kite is too squirrelly.

The big event tonight is -- Monday JAcks BINGO night. Wish us luck!
