Georgetown to Long Island

So far we have been pretty lucky and seen the ocean most of the time from a calm beautiful side, but last night it all changed, but let me start from the beginning. After leaving Staniel Cay, we made our way to Georgetown. We had heard lots of nice things about this settlement and Elisabeth Harbour is suppose to be the place for sailing boats. We were all looking forward to it. I was hoping for some fresh provisioning and laundry facilities and Julia and Carlos hoped for some Children to play with. After an uneventful ride through the Exuma Sound we arrived at Elisabeth Harbor. It was getting late by the time we got into the dinghy to check out the township. Oh… it was not what we expected. We walked around Lake Victoria and bumped into two old friends from Staniel Cay, but apart from that there was not much on offer for us. That night we decided to leave Georgetown early in the morning, to sail to our next destination…. Clearance town on Long Island.
Long Island gave us that pure Island Life, that I had imagined since we had started our journey….We anchored nice and safe in the bay of Long Island. We woke to Coconut Palm trees, white beaches and blue water. We took it easy and went for a swim after breakfast and walked along the Island, harvested coconut and drank the milk right there and then under the beautiful palm tree. It’s beautiful and nature pure.

We all had a good time. In the afternoon we checked out the little settlement, Clearance town. It had a pool and a nice clean bar and we ended up watching the basketball game Boston against Chicago… what a game. By the time we got back to the boat we were attacked by Mosquitoes…. So we had to race back to the boat, locked all the windows and got our mosquitoes spray out….. and hoped for a quiet night. After a few days we decided that it is time to leave the Island life and move on to our next destination….Crocked Island.
