At noon Estin arrived for a guitar lesion. Since he is also a cab driver, he had a double duty. The guitar lesson and then taxi ride to the airport to pick up Jerry. We played calypso music for and hour. I had bought his CD from the local souvenir shop and learned the changes to one of the songs he wrote called The Bahamas that was on the CD that I purchased. We had a ton of fun during the lesson. Jim and Ellie even showed up. Jim harmonized to several of the songs that Estin played. 1:30pm came quickly and the guitar lesson ended. Estin said that we needed to head to the airport to pick up Jerry.

Jerry’s flight was 10 minutes late. Estin the taxi driver beeped his horn ar most folks we passed as he drove me to the airport. I talked to a vendor at the airport while waiting for he flight to arrive. He said that everything in his booth was handmade by his wife. I had to purchase earrings that were hand made by his wife out of coconut for Sandy and Patricia. I had a photo taken of the coconut tree that produced the coconuts from which the jewelry was made.

We headed back to Mango’s. Estin dropped us off and said goodbye. Jerry unpacked his gear and we jumped in the dingy for a tour of Marsh Harbor by water.

As the sun went down Jerry and I went to Mango’s Restaurant for conch chowder. Estin was at the bar talking with folks. He asked me to get my guitar and we played pass the guitar. Estin would play a song. Then it was my turn. We had great fun. I stayed up way past my normal bed time of 8:30pm. Finally about 10:30 I creawled into my aft bunk and Jery crawled into the V-berth and we fell asleep.
