The Best of Home

Black Point to George Town |  8.3 Hours  |  53 Miles 

We were underway before the sun rose over the trees on Black Point. Dothan Cut was free of big breakers, but we had to plow through a four-knot head current to reach the outside. Once in Exuma Sound we set a single waypoint at Conch Cay Cut and followed it right to George Town. 

Elizabeth Harbor is the current home for several hundred boats. We made our way past Monument Beach and the crowds at Chat N Chill before looking for a place to drop anchor. Searching out a great spot is akin to trying to find a parking space at the mall the week before Christmas. Thoughts of "this isn't bad" and "I think we can get closer" raced through our minds. We settled on a spot as Glenda and Greg came over in their dinghy to welcome us. We later moved to a better spot a bit closer to both Paradigm Shift and the beach. The captain grabbed a late afternoon nap and I read in the sunshine before enjoying a shower. The day closed with a wonderful dinner and conversation aboard Paradigm Shift, and a great reunion with Yorkies, Jaxon and Cooper. All is right in my world tonight. I've used that phrase in previous years for our cruising reunions and I can't think of a better way to sum it up. There's nothing better than reconnecting with the best of home, a thousand miles away. I look forward to making more great memories over the next few days.

We will remain in George Town for a few days. I'll post again when we move to another location
