George Town has a magnificent harbour for cruising boats. There is always room for one more here and the day we left the boat count was 231. We anchored off the town so that we could do our town jobs but most of the boats were anchored behind Lee Stocking Island.
This is the high tech computer shop where I did my internet work in George Town. This local gentleman said that he was my colour two years ago so we had to do a picture skin comparison shot.
The straw market is always a fun place to visit. This lady was happy to show me her plaiting and weaving work.
This is the ocean side of Long Island....beautiful sandstone rocks and rugged coastline dotted with a few ocean beaches.
Today is Friday February 23rd and we are planning an over night passage to Crooked and Acklins tonight. We will leave here around noon with an arrival in Crooked tomorrow morning. This will be the last blog entry for awhile as Crooked has very few services. We weren't able to get our laundry done here at The long Island Breeze as Mike is still awaiting water. It will be back to the ammonia pail method for sure once we get to Crooked. Our plans are to head to the Dominican Republic if we get the weather windows that we need but we will be in The Bahamas for at least another week pinned down with strong easterlies at Crooked.
