On January 25th we left
Farmers Cay. Even with very calm weather the water in the cut was covered in
short steep little waves so it looked like it was topped by meringue. The trip to Georgetown was a calm motorboat
ride with unsuccessful fishing. We
anchored in Kidds Cove and had lobster and steak for Bill’s birthday. Happy Birthday Bill!
Thursday morning we walked around
town then went shopping at Exuma Markets.
Groceries are expensive here. We
spent $125 on groceries and did not buy everything on our list.
We stayed in Georgetown until
January 30th and went for a hike everyday to the monument and to the
beach. The beach is miles long and mostly deserted. The harbor side of the
island has over 180 boats anchored. The Georgetown sailing community is very
organized. Bill refers to it as daycamp for adults. In the morning there is a controlled radio
net that covers emergency traffic, weather, local business announcements,
community announcements (this is when they announce the time and location of
yoga, volleyball, softball, poker, trivia contests, potlucks, etc), new
arrivals, departures, buy/sell/trade/give away, and boaters general. The final
piece of business is Thought of The Day.
My favorite so far: “It is okay if your mind goes blank, just turn off
the sound.”
