Volleyball Beach

We are at Volleyball Beach , the east side of Elizabeth Harbour. Very nice anchorage with a great beach (you can hand feed the rays) and a nice local hangout, Chat N Chill. We motored in from Cave Cay, where Barracuda Bob finally caught something edible, a gorgeous mutton snapper (we had to use our fish book for identification, because Jon isn't here). A superb dinner at a calm, peaceful and nearly empty anchorage.
It's a little tricky coming into Elizabeth Harbour, definitely need someone at
the bow if it's new to you. Our darling Leo chewed through the GPS cable as we were entering, so we had a "moment"........no worries, though, I was at the helm, Bob on the bow, and our marriage savers worked!
We plan to stay here a few days to catch some of the Regatta, we have a prime spot for viewing. Georgetown is transforming itself in anticipation, food shacks being erected everywhere. The local grocery is pretty well stocked if expensive. It's also convenient, but we have to haul jugs across the harbor to get water and fuel. Too windy for that today!
On a sad note, my mother passed away Friday morning. We plan on continuing our trip and holding a service at a later time.
