Arrival in Georgetown

We arrived in Georgetown, Exumas yesterday. This is a mecca for cruisers - today there are nearly 200 boats here. It is a very convenient stop for getting fuel, provisions, propane, access to internet, etc. There are lots of activities, i.e. volleyball, bridge, dominoes, basket weaving, etc. We anchored by Sand Dollar Beach - other popular spots are Monument Beach, Kidd Cove, Volleyball Beach, and Hamburger Beach. A cold front is coming through today so it is bit windy, but still warm & sunny. Today we hiked on a path to the ocean side & walked to St Francis Resort where I purchased 75 minutes of internet for $2.00! It gave me a chance to catch up on news, post to the blog, and other business stuff. The trip down the Exumas chain was beautiful-we stopped for a few days in the Lee stocking Island area. The water was exceptionally nice. We hung out on Leaf Cay where there were hundreds of iguanas! Jim and Randy on "Mutual Fun" went hunting for lobsters and came by with a bucket full! I learned how to clean them, and prepare them for cooking thanks to Conrad on "Its About Time". Fun! The beaches here are beautiful. Not sure of what our next stop might be - we are waiting for Ed & Karen on "Passages" to arrive - probably Long Island or Conception Island. Will post when we can.
