In the Exumas! Happy 4th of July!
It's been awhile since I have posted anything, so I'll try and do some catching up. We have been in the Exumas for nearly 2 months and have been having a wonderful cruise. The Exuma Land and Sea Park is one of a kind so far in the Bahamas. They have several moorings set along for our convenience. Clay and I have been doing alot of snorkeling in these spots. We been to Staniel Cay, Sampson Cay, Compass Cay, Black Point, Farmers Cay, Bells Island, Little Halls Pond, Cave Cay and now we are in George Town.
We swam with the nurse sharks, saw Johnny Depp, his wife/girlfriend, Island, and boat, and Faith Hill's Island. Run into more Texans. Steve Cone (from Texas) owns Cave Cay and the Marina. He's been working on it for 14 years. Clay knows his cousin from Arlington, TX.
George Town is a very nice laid back Bahamian community with just about everything you need. The people here are super friendly. You can anchor out if you want to or come into the Exuma Docking Services. We've done both. The town itself is quite small so you can walk to all the local places. The Straw Market here is much smaller than Nassau's which I like better and the vendors are not pushy!!!! They have an unusual Restaurant row here and they call it the Fish Fry. There are about 7-8 different little shack/restaurants you can choose from, but on down the road apiece we choose the Coconut Cove Restaurant over looking Elizabeth Harbour and had a terrific pizza!!!
My digital camera crashed, got a new underwater digital camera here, so we are going out to take some pictures and see how it works. Stay tuned for pictures,
As always,
