Chat 'n' Chill

A local beach joint near George Town has become a new hangout for us. Closer to where we are anchored than the town, it is quite the fun spot (except on weekends when it is a zoo). Check it out at www.chatnchill.com

We have learned that George Town is called Chicken Harbour by yotties. Boats stay forever waiting for good weather to head south to the Caribbean. Great! We love it anyway.
