Our next hop... from Little Farmers to Georgetown, means leaving the safety of the banks and heading out into the Exuma Sound. The Sound is like the ocean except that the swells are usually much smaller so the weather is more critical. The forecast calls for wind on the nose for the foreseeable future. Today those winds will be relatively light so we decided to head south.
We slid through the cut with about a 3 knot current push at about 7:30 and got our fishing equipment organized.
We motored all day, without a fish, and arrived in Georgetown at 3:00. On our third try, we were anchored off Volleyball Beach in about 18 feet of water. Before dinner we took a dinghy ride...(it still is holding together) and scoped out the area. There was a beach party in progress on Hamburger Beach but we passed until another day.
I have no idea how many boats there are anchored here. We haven't even seen the other end of the harbour.
