Georgetown 3/4/2014

It is very difficult to get internet here in the Exumas and the connections are usually slow.....but when I can safely bring in the laptop there is usually a hot spot or two at local restaurants.  We arrived in Georgetown via the western cut and motored very carefully in front of Monument Beach, Hamburger Beach, and Volleyball Beach to anchor in Sand Dollar Beach with Our Desire and SnowGoose.  Two dolphins greeted us as Walt set the anchor.  The harbor here is almost 5 miles long with Georgetown, Exuma Island, on one side and the ocean reefs and beaches on the other side.  There are coral heads in the anchorage so it's good to watch from the bow and avoid those.  The cruisers here have a VHF net in the morning just like Marathon and there are lots of activities.  We've walked the beaches, snorkeled, attended historical talks, gone to the Chat n' Chill BBQ, and attended Mass in Georgetown.  We'll be staying here two weeks to explore the area.  It's a boaters' paradise!
