G Town

The Pearl (Jennifer)

Ahoy Friends, 

The Captain and Admiral have made their way to their Southern most point, Georgetown, Great Exuma Island, Exuma.  We had heard much about G Town before coming and we are glad to be experiencing it for ourselves.  Picture a big harbor where boats anchor around the settlement.  Now picture 250+ boats snuggling! Yep, it is pretty crazy.  We are use to anchoring with 1-2 boats to maybe, 25.  We are in a city (not really).  We have had several weather systems move through and we have a safe anchorage we move to for N, W and South winds while here.  We spend the settled weather on Sand Dollar Beach -- guess why it is called Sand Dollar beach!

G Town is very organized, has a morning net that updates the cruisers on what is going on with local businesses, special events, gives the cruisers a chance to ask for help or for parts and even section about what to do with your trash (don't burn it on the beach).  A practical problem on a boat.  G Town has organized volleyball (fun to advanced), bocce, scrabble tournaments, conch shell workshops, yoga, socials and much, much of this happens on Chat N’ Chill beach.  Think summer camp for adults!  This is all organized by other cruisers.   

We are swimming, walking and exploring.  We got a nice long rain shower a few days ago and Kluane got a free (and needed) wash.  She is gleaming (and so is Captain).

We are enjoying time with our friends on Scooter, Different Drummer, Independence, Kokoi, Malika, Sparrow, Ann Marie and Solitude.  

Enjoy the photos!
