Still in Georgetown

We've had a fun time here, but nothing really of note to take pictures of.  Lots of "sundowners" and dinners with old friends, meeting new friends.  On 2 separate days we've been boat-bound by high winds.  Today is one of those.  Yesterday we spent most of the day in a weather seminar by Chris Parker, the offical Caribbean Weather Guru.  It was a good seminar, very informative and entertaining.
Regatta starts tomorrow (Monday, March 1).  Should be fun!
Today's shell is one of my favorites, found on Rum Cay.  It's a King Helmet, about 8 inches long.  The shell has an highly polished coffee colored triangular body shield and upper lip, with white "teeth".  The king helmet always has 11 teeth. It lives in shallow eel grass and coral all the way to 8 fathoms.  Found in S.E. FL and the West Indies to Venezuela.
