We ended up spending a week at Emerald Bay and on the second to last day, some of our cruiser friends showed up, including Knot Home. We first met Ken (our crazy Canadian friend) on Sail Away back in the Dismal Swamp.

It was time for Serenity to depart; finding the cut into Emerald Bay and the Exuma Sound had calmed down a bit.
After a nice motor sail, we found George Town and Elizabeth Harbour. Reportedly, there are 284 active cruising boats here. Next week is the 31st annual Cruising Regatta. The skyline at night with all of the anchor lights is quite impressive.
Our first priority was claiming the mail that we missed in Nassau. We thought the marina had sent it regular mail to the George Town Market, but it turns out they used DHL. Our hunt led us to very official looking Police Station and Post Office.
Getting to George Town from our mooring in Gaviota Bay off of Stocking Island is usually a wet dinghy ride across Elizabeth Harbour and then under the bridge into Lake Victoria.
While there, we checked out the local sights.
Wherever we go, Pollie has to checkout the library
Back when we were in the snow planning our great escape, I was looking on Google Earth at the various islands in the Bahamas when I clicked on a picture taken from the Chat ‘N Chill. “That’s it, I want to go there,” I said as I made that picture my screen saver.
