On to Georgetown

Racing Fleet

Class C racers on the winning boat!

We had a nice sail to Little Farmers Cay. This is a pretty small cay, but it does have an airstrip ( which doubles as a road and walkway when no planes are landing). We happened to be there for their annual 5F’s festival- First Friday in February Farmers Festival. There were maybe 50 cruising boats there,as well as boatloads of Bahamians. There were two days of racing the local sailboats ,which came in from various settlements.





 We were told they were having the Superbowl on widescreen tv, so we stayed there Sunday. Turns out, what they had was a play-by-play graphical display, not the real game, so that was a letdown, as well as the game result. Monday, we headed for Georgetown,which was a trip out in the ocean for much of the day. There are a lot of boats here, 300?, but the harbor is large, and the boats are mostly in several desirable locations, We got water and fuel for the first time in 2 weeks on Tuesday, and checked out the town. It has all the essentials, except to get internet you have to bring your laptop to town. With all the boats, there are lots of loosely organized activities, such as volleyball, card games, etc., many taking place right on a beach with a little restaurant and bar called the Chat-and-Chill. Dave played in a volleyball game Wednesday. Wed. a dinghy stopped by, and it was a couple with a MaineCat 41, so we had a good chat with them. Today we plan to go into town and try to post this blog. Hope it works!
