Life in George Town, Exumas

The idea was for us to sail to George Town, Exumas and pick up the mail that had been forwarded to us at the Exuma Markets.  The postal service in the Bahamas is not too swift, but it had been three or four weeks since Mom sent the bag of tax forms and misc. mail.  We anchored in Elizabeth Harbor near Volley Ball Beach/ Stocking Island and dinghied over to George Town.  Here's what that looks like:

Of course, we were expecting too much--the mail never came.  We were in George Town for a week (from March 11 to March 17) but no mail!  Finally we left a self-addressed envelope with $20 to cover postage with the Exuma Market lady who said she would forward our mail back to us in the states.

Here are some pictures of our stay in George Town.  This is me lounging in front of the Chat 'n' Chill on Volleyball Beach.

And this is the Chat 'n' Chill where barefooted drinking and eating is required.

This a view from the beach out into the anchorage in Elizabeth Harbor.  There's no way to tell which one of these boats is ours--they all look the same.

 And this is John at the Peace and Plenty in George Town looking out at Elizabeth Harbor.

And finally, here's a short video of the friendly stingray who likes to entertain folks in the shallow waters of Volleyball Beach.
