Monday & Tuesday Report

Ben went fishing for an hour on Monday morning but returned empty handed.  He had been chatting to a fellow fisherman who advised that the main fishing season was May/June so Ben is not expecting much success with rod and line!

The weather has been much warmer with temperatures in the afternoon approaching 70F.  We have played golf for the last 2 days with Reid and Barb at the Port Royal Golf Club on the Robbers Row course - an apt name as Liz has had 2 storming rounds and honours between us are now even at 3-3.

This evening we went out to a fish restaurant and had a shrimp based meal.  Whilst the shrimps were very good it was a messy affair as you had to peel them to eat them!

The next couple of days are forecast to be rainy so we have not yet decided what to do - you will of course be the first to know!

The course is located on an old battleground (I think v the English)

Saturday 14th Harbour Town in the sun! We packed everything up and left the condo at 10.00 am.  We did not need to be at the airport until early evening so we had a trip to Harbour Town followed by a shrimp lunch in the 'Salty Dog' which is always a treat.  The trip to Atlanta was uneventful in good weather.  We had a comfortable flight back in our business class beds which is a very civilized way to travel.  We landed on Sunday morning and were home by lunchtime. We are now 'self isolating' for 7 days (at least Liz is!) and watching the worrying national developments where the current advice is not to mix with anyone - they are discussing mandating self isolation for the over 70s for the conceivable future.

Friday the13th March The day dawned with blue skies and a gentle breeze and a temperature forecast of low 80sF (shorts again!)  We played our last round at Port Royal Robbers Row course with Barb and Reid who were also heading home to Canada on Saturday due the dreaded 'C virus'.  We stuck to the same format but despite a valiant effort by the boys the girls sneaked it again!  Liz got 37 points which was 1under her handicap and Barb must have played at least 5 shots better than hers so we were really up against it.  In the evening we met up for a meal in a local Mexican restaurant which rounded the day off nicely. We did not see any today! The post match pic - note the girls taking it seriously in their team tops!

Wednesday & Thursday Expert fishing competitor Liz with Barb & Reid at Bear Creek Golf Club We had a day off from golf on Wednesday.  The weather was excellent - Ben went fishing (no one was catching) and Liz went for a long walk on the beach and was very impressed by some of the 'mansions' overlooking the Ocean.  Later we both went to Mathews Beach near the airport where Ben had another go at fishing - this time from the beach; again no luck - even the expert competitor went home hungry! Liz 'vegging' Today we played golf at Bear Creek with Barb and Reid - again a lovely day with blue skies, gentle breeze and temperature in the mid 70Fs.  The boys had a better day today and sneaked a win - Liz says that they thought she and Barb ought to let us have a win otherwise we would be grumpy - ha ha not! We ate in this evening followed by a 'veg' watching rubbish TV.
