Georgetown, Exuma, Bahamas
Many Cruisers have departed the harbor, some heading back to the US. Many of the Canadian and Northern US cruisers leave their boats in Florida for the summer, they head back early so they can put their boats up for the summer.
Some are cruising around the Examas, out to Cat, Rum, Long Island and the Jumentos. We will too, then back to Georgetown for the Family Regatta, which are the Bahamian sloop races. The Family regatta is the last week of April after which we will start heading home. We will take about 4 - 5 weeks to get to Baltimore.
There is a lagoon here I mentioned earlier where the Coconut Challenge was held. In the lagoon are moorings and it is called the “Fruit Bowl”, there are a number of houseboats moored there and each is named after a fruit, Cantaloupe, Papaya, Tangelo, Pineapple, etc. Most are owned by French Canadians and it is fun to hear them hail each other on VHF. They hail Conta loop with the accent on loop, popa ya accent on ya, pine appel.
We’ve been enjoying the beach and checking out resorts for a late winter vacation next year.
