We are still in Georgetown. We’ll be staying through the opening day of the regatta….a very big deal here in the Bahamas. We have been cruising with another Kid boat from Maine called Stary Night and some experienced Bahamas cruisers on a 58′ Krogen, Far Reaches.

Georgetown is a pretty unique place, centered around cruising sailors. There are lots of actiivies and good beaches. Jasper and I have been playing Vollyball and perhaps I’ll try out Yoga tomorrow. The only downside is the long and wet dingy ride back to the boat anchored across the harbor(hence the lack of postings). We’ll be heading up the Exuma chain starting on Friday.

We have spent the last week and half cruising the out islands of the Bahamas. Needless to say, it has been very remote, often with no one around. We have had our share of empty beaches, great snorkeling. If it weren’t for the fact that we have run out of almost everything, we’d still be out there. We’ll be here for a bit….more later.

We had a great passage with some great sailing. We were joined by two other boats (Starbound and Naia). Some of the highlights include a swim in 6500 ft of water in the middle of the ocean, a swim in 10 feet of water in the middle of the Caicos Bank, and catching a big fish that got away.

We are enjoying Culebra…the water is clear, the sun is hot, and the fishing is great. We managed to catch some Lobsters and kill a Lion fish. I even managed to get some surfing in.

We have managed to hook with a lot of kid boats (Begonia from Evanston, Naia from Washington, Starbound from Maine).

We’ll be moving to the Turks and Caicos Tomorrow. This should take us 3 or 4 days. We’ll be traveling with two other kid boats, Naia and Starbound. Once we hit the T&C’s, it should be just day sails up the Bahama chain.
