Georgetown, Great Exuma Island, The Bahamas

Friday, June 14

We left Rum Cay and sailed to Georgetown on Great Exuma Island.  We were running extremely low on fuel and Rum Cay hasn't had diesel in years, so we were forced to move on.  We had a beautiful sail to the Exumas, passing Long Island along the way.  And we happened to catch a blackfin tuna and a mahi (unfortunately, the mahi had worms so we threw it back).

Blackfin tuna!  Just in time for lunch.

Lunch time - Tuna Sashimi

Approaching Long Island (half way to Great Exuma Island)

 Gene's cutting open the Mahi and notices the worms in it's belly

Finally arrive in Great Exuma.  Here we're entering Elizabeth Harbor.

Sailing south down Elizabeth Harbor

We dropped the anchor in Elizabeth Harbor just outside of Exuma Yacht Club in Georgetown and headed off on the dinghy in search of a good restaurant to get some conch fritters.

The Chat N' Chill, a little restaurant on the small island just off of Stocking Island in Elizabeth Harbor.  They weren't open this evening, but Gene and I went back on Sunday for the Pig Roast party.



The sun was quickly setting, so we headed into Georgetown.

Kalalau looking pretty in the sunset

Little channel that leads to Lake Victoria where we parked the dinghy

We ate dinner at one of the local fish frys on the bay.  
The table next to us had picked up these soup mixes - haha.

The next day, Gene noticed this seagull standing on the owl which is supposed to scare away the seagulls.  Nice try!
