Georgetown, Exumas, Bahamas

We had just a delightful sail...about 37 nautical miles at about 6.5 knots average with full sails and no motors.


 Uneventful sail with winds mostly on our stern.  We sailed wing-on-wing the entire way occasionally hitting 8 knots.  Dropped the sails just tenth of a mile from where we dropped the anchor....busy, busy anchorage.  Not our cup of tea....but of course we knew it would be this way.  There are till over 300 boats in the area according to the Georgetown cruiser Facebook page.


 We made such good time that we had plenty of time to go to the immigration office.  The dinghy dock was not as crowded as I would have assumed it would be. 

 

No photos allowed at the immigration office of course.  It took about an hour for them to process our passports and take our $400.....After that we walked to the Bahamas Customs office to renew our fishing permit.  That went off without a hitch and another $100 exited our wallet for another fishing permit....should last us until we make our way north towards home.

Back to the boat for what looks like it will be a bouncy night at anchor
