Georgetown

 

To get to Georgetown we had to cross from the west side of the chain of islands to the east side.  We crossed through Farmers Cut. The only review was that it was narrow, but deep.  Scariest 3 minutes of boating so far….waves crashing through this opening were huge.  Red Rover handled it like a pro….my knees were knocking for a while.

A longer day today….this location offers great protection from the forecasted winds. It was quite sporty on the outside without protection from the islands, but it got better as the day went on.

We anchored along Stocking Island, just across is Great Exuma Island, Georgetown. Soooooo many boats, a lot of live aboards here in Elizabeth Harbour.

A dinghy ride across the Harbour to the market for a few supplies….you can pretty much count on everything being double the price….I don’t know how the locals make it work.

Through this hole in the wall and back out to the Harbour.

Up the beach to the “Chat n Chill” for a beer and take away ribs and fries…..nice to not have to cook, and it was excellent.

We will stay here 2 nights….that will be 10 consecutive nights at anchor which means we are pretty much out of water, even though we have been very conservative.

Good Sunday morning March 12th. Today we will lift the dinghy back up into its cradle and a one hour ride north to the Marina at Emerald Bay for 2 or 3 nights.
