Winds have continued to blow hard and we got tired of the anchorage in Georgetown. We were well protected and it is a pretty harbor, about 15 miles long! With a brief decrease in the winds we headed up Great Exuma island to the Marina at Emerald Bay. This upscale marina is associated with the Four Seasons resort next door. The lull didn't last long and the winds and waves were fairly serious but the sail was only 7 miles once we got out of the harbor and wind was just about at our back. Away from the harbor the rhythm of the waves seemed to get pretty manageable. Getting into the narrow harbor entrance was a bit challenging with the channel about 90 degrees to the waves and wind but I really think Tom likes challenges. It is calm inside the marina and we'll hope the weather passes while we are here. The resort atmosphere is a big contrast to some of the islands we have visited. Soon we think that we'll head a bit north and go to a few of the cays we missed. and get a bit more snorkeling in. We're talking all the time about what next. Seems that everyone we meet to is headed North for the summer. I don't think we ever include that as part of the plan although is there a better place than New England in the summer?

Personally, I think heading North for the summer is a GRAND idea! Woods Hole,Eel Pond, Landfall chowder, Pie in the Sky....????Hey the pics are great! They remind me that there is such a thing as a sun in the sky, although I haven't seen it in quite some time! Another dreary day. I keep forgetting that we skip spring here and just sail right into summer. Of course Tom likes a challenge especially when it comes to sailing! Although he did miss the ultimate challenge of Jan K. in the drink of Little Harbor that day! Thought of you Susie when I was in Trader Joe's buying mangoes and coconut the other day. Some of us must buy them in a store and some of us get to pick them off trees. Oh retirement.....where are you? Love you guys and miss you even more! Jan and Kel
Hey Folks! GREAT shot of Brilliant in the waves. Looks wild. Glad you are up to it. Who took the photo? Memory? Are they still around? And yeah, the cape is nice in the summer, but better than the carribean is a stretch. There are no gecko's, no colorful fish, the water isn't really that warm... it goes on. Wish i were down there.
