Impressions of Georgetown

On By syaltimateIn Atlantic, bahamas, Caribbean, Media Blog

As soon as we arrived at Georgetown /Exumas we needed to find a laundry. The one in Georgetown was an interesting one. The dryers were operated with propane. We have not seen that before. It looked a bit scary but it seemed to work. See feature pic. When ready with laundry and groceries we moved to the other side where a lot of cruisers hang out. The place was called “chat and chill” on Stocking island.

first steps ashore at chat and chill
volleyball
more beach around the islet
in the sheltered lagoon there were next to sailing boats as well some houseboats
it was a popular gathering spot for families
the trail to chat and chill from the other side
another lagoon on Stocking island
the sting rays were looking for food, so used to humans that they seemed almost tame
a volleyball lady showed me how to weave baskets from a special kind of palm tree leaves
a beach jam-session

Crab Cay and preparing for the kids to come

Strong west finds forced us to hide at a safe place, thanks to our very shallow draft we found a great place at Crab Cay on Exuma.

the proud El Capitano
we took advantage of that anchorage as there was another laundry in walking distance
we were lucky, people gave us a ride in both directions so we were much faster than expected
and back at stocking island, trying to figure out which leaves are the best for making baskets
I started my first basket
Sandy Dollar beach anchorage , Altimate in first row
back in Georgetown getting everything ready for the kids
the dinghy dock in GT
they even had a gasoline dinghy dock
while waiting for the kids I finished my first basket😁
ready for the kids to come, didn’t find any easter sweets … one has to be flexible

The kids arrived!!!

Once the kids were aboard Altimate we moved again to Sandy Dollar Beach as it was a much nicer anchorage. The kids wanted to stretch their legs. I was more than happy to take them ashore while El Capitano was preparing dinner. We walked all the way to Chat and Chill and back.

aren’t they cute?
happy girls
and a happy ray😉
