What DO You Do?

Quite often we are asked about what we do while we live on New Horizon. Good question! There always seems to be a way to pass the time and fun events to attend or take part in. You've seen the lighthouse decorations, sailing committee, underwater pictures and the conch horns, but here are some other events we have been to.

Every November we attend and volunteer at the Box Cart Derby on Big Hill. There is a huge turnout and it is a great fundraiser for the Junior Sailing Program.



Dave and I usually flip burgers and serve food during part of the day.


Christmastime is filled with caroling, parties, and even golf cart parades.




Every full moon we do a dinghy drift in the harbor. Everyone brings their own drinks and an appetizer to pass around as we drift with the wind around the harbor at sunset, maneuvering around the moored boats. This past drift was huge (22 small boats), since it was a special night celebrating the new year and the blue moon.




One day, our friend Bill, gave lessons on making splices in ropes and lines. You can see the guys really concentrating on what they are doing.




The new year was ushered in with a fantastic fireworks display at the stroke of midnight. The boat with the green light on in the middle of the harbor is New Horizon.




We are looking forward to new and exciting adventures in 2010, and telling you all about it in these posts.
