George Town, Exuma

So Thursday we went 40 miles from Shroud Cay to Little Farmer's Cay. We met up with another couple there and had them over for drinks. Bruce and Lin are on "Alize", and we met them while we were in Charleston. It was nice to meet up with some familiar faces and it sounds like they are headed the same way we are, as they plan to spend hurricane season down in Trinidad & Tobago. I'm sure we'll see more of them down the road.

We arrived in George Town yesterday morning. You may remember that last year this was as far as we got. Funny that last year it took us two and a half months to get from Lucaya to George Town but this year it took only five days. We seem to be flying through the Bahamas, but it's only because we want to spend our time in places we haven't been yet.

So we anchored and not an hour later we see a very small seaplane come taxiing in and pull up right to the beach at the Chat N Chill. Not sure which island he came from, maybe a smaller island without a bar? An hour and a half later the plane weaves its way back through all the anchored boats and takes off. So I guess he just wanted to knock back a couple before heading off to wherever he came from. That's what you like to see. Between this experience and the one last year where we saw the other seaplane crash, you could never pay me enough to ride in one of those things.
