Bermuda day #4

We decided to head over to the other side of the island  - to St Georges  (we had been spending our time in Hamilton)
Another beautiful bus ride
 We passed some huge tennis courts and cricket grounds
 There are beautiful harbors around every turn

 St Georges was a quaint little town


 It also had some forts from the 1700's
 Bermuda helped the American revolutionaries in their fight against the British in 1775.  Pretty cool!  They stole British gun powder and gave it to the Americans.  
 We took a path to Tobacco Bay
 Beautiful!
 The fish of Bermuda



 Back to town
Most of the homes are on small lots, but every once in a while, you see a large complex like this one

 Back on the bus to Hamilton - more amazing views

 They had a regatta, part of The Onion Patch series (NYC regatta; N to B race; and this race), so we caught the end of it.  Some of the Newport to Bermuda boats (if you could manage to get out of the marina) participated. 
 We caught up with the owner of Incognito, so we 'boat shopped' with them :)  No, we aren't getting a different boat but it's fun to look
 Then Chris helped do some things on Shearwater to get it ready for the cruise home
 Party at the yacht club that night!  We only stayed for a few hours
 but had a Dark & Stormy with our 'Aggressive' crew
