George Town is a famous Bahamian port. During the winter, many folks from Florida spend the season here. The boating community is its own little town. There is a VHF net giving the days activities, and there are many activities available. There can be 200-300 boats anchored here.

Going through Great Galliot Cut this morning was interesting. Even with little wind and no waves on either side of the cut, there were good size waves and turbulence going through the cut. The Explorer charts give details about each cut, so you know which ones to avoid. I noticed at the Rose Island cut, the tour boat didn't take its passengers through the cut in the morning when it was windy. They stopped in the channel for folks to swim there. In the afternoon, they went through the cut and took them swimming at our anchorage. I went through the cut in the morning and could see it would be unsafe for those boats loaded with passengers to do that.

The water on the east side of the Exuma Island chain is known as Exuma Sound. Fifty miles across are more islands, bounding this body of water and sheltering it from large ocean waves. But at the southern end, Cat Island ends and the Sound is no longer protected. We could tell the difference when we suddenly had 3-5 foot ocean swells running. It has been awhile since we have been in swells.

No dolphins lately. I saw two flying fish today. Yesterday at the anchorage, we saw several large rays. When you see what looks like a big black rock on the bottom, but it is moving slowly, that is a ray.

On the way down, we had to go around three large rocks that were in the middle of our path - Three Sisters Rocks. The name reminded me of three sisters I know: Tina, Louise, and Denise. I noticed the littlest one seemed to be taking a pounding😢, but was standing strong and not giving in.
