Hello from Georgetown, Exuma... official cruisers’s hub of the Southern Bahamas. We’re anchored off Monument Beach with about 40 other sailboats, and that’s just in this one particular spot! In all there are more than 250 boats scattered along both sides of the 2+ mile-long Elizabeth Harbor.
Many snowbirds come and stay for the season; some use this as a jumping off point for the Virgin Islands, Cuba, etc.; and for others like us, this is a great place to rest and restock before making a U-turn.
Our first visit to Exuma Market, the local grocery store, was like attending a reunion. It’s funny to pull into a place for the very first time yet find that you know dozens of the “residents”. So many of the cruisers we’ve met along the way are here. Although our travel itineraries haven’t always been exactly the same, for the most part we all had this destination in common.
Here’s a photo album from our first couple of days in Georgetown.
