Georgetown


Hundreds and hundreds of boats in Elizabeth Harbor! We arrived on Valentine's day and after we anchored, and napped, we got our dinghies down and went to Volley Ball beach - we anchored nearby - and walked into the Chat'n Chill. I have to preface this story by saying that the first time we came to the Bahamas, six years ago, when we sailed into Allan Cay the boat that was anchored right in front of us was our neighbor of several years in Herrington Harbor, Gordon. We had never talked about coming to the Bahamas so seeing them was a complete surprise. After that we cruised together most of the time. They moved out of Herrington Harbor to Galesville and we have not kept in contact. Well, the first people we see as we walk into the bar are Gordon and Debbie!!
They have been coming every year so we are going to pick their brains tonight about traveling to the Jumentos Cays.
Since it was Valentine's day there was a DJ and all the cruisers were there shaking and bumping. Mike said it looked a lot like parties in assisted living! Not quite true, there were three or four under forty!
Yesterday we went around Georgetown, got a new battery, bought lures - we are hopeful now - visited the Exuma Market but did not go the Batelco!
Today we are going to move further South to the Sand Dollar anchorage to see if it's less rolly. 
For some obscure reason we have found this wonderful connection and will spend the morning hooked to it!!
