The trip to Georgetown was perfect. A beautiful day and very calm seas. Elizabeth harbour incredibly empty. I don't think there were 150 boats. I counted 84 on the stretch from Conch Cut to the marina. There was plenty of space to anchor everywhere, even in front os Volleyball Beach. Other anchorages before and after were plain empty.
Because we left two hours later than we had planned we made it at low tide and the entrance to the marina was painful. We kissed the bottom a couple of times but made it safely. We had time to get the package at the exuma market (thank you Joanna), print Sophia's ticket, buy a few groceries and fill the tanks with water and fuel.
At 6 this morning we met the taxi driver who took Sophia and was kind enough to call us on the radio to let us know she'd left safely.
We managed to find two alternator belts to have as spares, found Juan's Afrin at a drugstore (miles away) and at 10 we were under way. We are not sure yet what we'll do: an overnight if we feel up to it, if not we'll sleep at Calabash Bay in Long Island.
We were sad to see Sophia go but I think she was more than ready to go home and enjoy the comforts of home!
