Tom was not too keen on going to Georgetown. If you look at navigating into and inside the Harbour, you might understand why.
Followed a sailboat into the inner harbour. It’s always good to have a guinea pig!
The 65th anniversary of the Island Family Regatta, the largest in the Bahamas, was in full swing when we entered the harbour. 
A couple hundred boats anchor to watch the races and partake in the festivities. It is equivalent to Seattle’s Seafair. We had to go around the race course and between anchored boats.
Georgetown is the largest town in the Exumas, and it is the last (or first) provisioning stop in the Bahamas. Georgetown has the nickname “Chicken Harbour” because many cruisers chicken out and head back North. Count us in that category.
NOTE: the 2018 Waterway Guide has printed that there is Gas and Diesel at Exuma Yacht Club. This is incorrect, they were buttoned up tight. The closest fuel to Georgetown is at Emerald Bay Marina, at the new Sand’s development, an hour cruise at 12kts North of Georgetown.
Town was bustling. This was the best provisioning stop since Nassau. A well stocked store, and not one, but two, liquor stores. There’s a dinghy dock at the store, with free RO water.
Georgetown was also our guest changeover day. Juan was counting down the hours until he was off the boat, and Bill and V brought us high spirits and positive energy.
