The Exuma Yacht Club sits right in the heart of George Town village. It has recently been renovated and is also the home of Exuma Divers.
The older famous Peace and Plenty Hotel has a wonder pool and bar, hosted by Dr. Libation...They also have music..."rake and scrape" weekly. It sits right on Elizabeth Harbour.
Kyaking is very popular here, and this touring kyak , complete with solar panels, electric engine, outriggers, was sailed to Staniel Cay and back for a week of exploration and beach camping.
Very often we take our dingys across the harbour to shop at a auto parts/general merchandise store. Quite the beautiful parking lot?
A former U.S. naval base was here, and this rusted out large tug was left behind.
Flowers spring up in the most unusual spots. Here a vine has taken over a well used ocean path and colored it purple. Nice....
Being on a mooring in a hurricane hole is a great way to secure your boat and relax in all types of weather. I lived here from June until November, and withstood Sandi and other storms. The moorings were triple screwed and I leased mine from St. Francis Resort.
My time here in George Town is quickly coming to an end come early May when I sail to Luperon, Dominican Republic for hurricane season. It's been a very special place for me and I hope to return one day.
Herman - how are you? We are doing fine. We arrived back in FL from St Maarten where we had the boat pulled. Will make the slow trek back to NH in a few weeks. If you are headed to Luperon be careful. Crime there is pretty bad. Always lock your boat. That being said the people there are wonderful (outside of the thieves). New Commadante - Bryan Reyes is a very nice person and will hopefully clean it up. Hook up with Bruce and Veronique Duncan (Wanderlust) Bruce can give you the ins and outs of the place. Joaquim (at Puerto Blanco Marina) is also a great source of help. Tell Papo and Pedro we say hey - you will meet them fast. Make sure that you have small bills because bribery is still very common - or presents as they are referred to. Hope all is going well in Georgetown, say hello to all Most of all safe travels in all your crossings. Chris, Gail & Ryleigh (Hoodwink)
