Again it was time to move along. So on Sunday we headed down to Black Point. This is where we were to drop off the books for the all age school.
It is only 12.5 miles from Pipe to Black Point, so about 2.5 hours we were anchored in the harbor of Black Point. Black Point is the home of the reputed best laundry in the entire Exumas. And you know that Diane was one happy camper!!!!!
So on Monday we dropped the books off and of course did our laundry. Also had lunch at Loraine's café,
Well while we were in Loraine's eating lunch, a call came in asking if anyone could help the school with a computer problem. I got volunteered, to my amazement. Luckily it was a hardware/ wiring problem. but it was in fact in the PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE!!!!!!!!!!! All those years of installing computer gear came in handy, as it was a problem with the ports on the switch banks. So after about an hour, myself and two other cruisers had everything up and running. The principal was ecstatic and listed us in the book of donors of special services I am now an IT expert according to her!!
Well a weather window opened and off we went for Georgetown. Unfortunately the seas were calm, so as the old fishermen say, "calm seas the fish are away". Basically we caught nothing, not even a bite.
So after 47 miles and 9 hours we are anchored in George Town.
