Happy Easter from Georgetown Exumas....

We arrived a few days ago here in Georgetown and have been settling in enjoying the good company of the Rosners on Antares. Great beach walks, hikes to the other side of the island and evening get togethers for movies and dominos. I was on a roll last night but I'm sure that will take a turn in the opposite direction really soon.

GT is an amazing place. There are multiple safe anchorages here that protect from most directions. West winds are a bit suspect for protection but we have arrived late enough in the season so as to have avoided most of the steady west winds that rolled through here a month or so back. 

Boats, boats and more boats. It's a place where provisioning is very good so people stop here going in all directions to stock up. Some stay for the entire winter.......like a little community. Good services. I was pleasantly surprised ......didn't know how I'd like being around so many others after the solitude we've enjoyed so far but it's been a very enjoyable stay. Likely we will head out on Sunday or Monday towards Long Island.....a compass course of approx 80 deg from here. For that to be a comfortable 30  mile ride, the wind needs to be down around 125 to 130 deg over the bow at least so the we can close to beam reach over. So we'll do the wait and see game. 

Going to watch a junior sailing championship regatta this weekend so that should be a good time...

Antares is the red hull just right of center, Iemanja is just to the right and slightly up from her with Georgetown in the background......Sand Dollar Beach.

Yes a wonderful and welcome rain shower as a minor cold front came through on Monday afternoon.
