Georgetown Exumas
Georgetown is an amazing place! We met people who stay there all season every year and we talked to someone who stayed a week and said it was 6 days too long. Neither held true for us. We loved seeing all the other cruisers and having access to stores, but we missed all the beautiful scenery and meeting Bahamians on the small islands and in the settlements.
Chat & Chill on volleyball beach is the hub for all activities. We enjoyed a great lunch there, attended a cruisers seminar on battery management (always a big topic when all the electricity you have is stored in and supplied by 12v batteries), and went to Beach Church on Sunday. Volleyball beach is actually located about 2 miles across the harbor from town. So dinghy rides back and forth were common. The stores, water, and gas are all on the town side. And all the activities are on the beach side.
Of course, we were also boat-bound one day when strong winds blew through the anchorage. That seems to be par for the course this year!
On the way back up the Exumas after a week in Georgetown, we stopped at Rudder Cut Cay, next to David Copperfields private island. He commissioned a piano sculpture and had it placed on the bottom for people to see when snorkeling. Fascinating!
And of course, a great game of Mexican Train dominoes, a favorite cruisers game! This one on board SunDog I, a Canadian catamaran we met at Thanksgiving in St Mary’s, GA.
