GEORGE TOWN UPDATE
12 January 2012 | Stocking Island, Exumas, Bahamas
Cheryl - Warm and light winds
Since I have complained so much about the weather I should comment about how nice it has been. More of what we thought it would be which is - one week nice with winds < 15 and 2 days winds >15. We are told this is more typical for time of year here in the Exumas. Water is a bit chilly, needing at least a shorty wet suit to snorkel in.
We have settled into a routine here. Our typical week goes something like this:
Monday - Chat N Chill for a burger and fries then volley ball and basket weaving on Volley Ball Beach (guess which one does what).
Tuesday - Poker at St. Francis
Wednesday - George Town for provisions, gas, water and propane (when available and needed)
Thursday - Poker at St. Francis
Friday - Boat day, or hiking and looking for palm leafs (for basket weaving) or Volley Ball Beach
Saturday - Same as Friday
Sunday - Poker at St. Francis
Add the occasional snorkeling, various volunteer activities, laundry or extra trip to George Town.
Several people have asked us our future plans. Always with the knowledge that our plans are: subject to change, by the month, week, day, hour:
January 28th leave here and go to the Marina at Emerald Bay for a night or two. It is about 12 miles north of here.
January 30th go back up the Exuma chain.
January 31st to February 5th Little Farmers Cay. They have a sailing regatta called the 5F's (First Friday in February Farmers Festival) that we want to see.
February 6th through March 1st work our way up the Exumas to Highbourne Cay.
March 1st to April 1st in the Eleuthras.
April 1st to June 1st in the Abacos.
June 1st head back to Florida.
Once we get to Florida we haven't decided where we will stay for a while, possibly Ft Myers. From there it is up in the air.
