We met several interesting people yesterday. Georgetown is quite the social place. We met a couple that are going south like us and want to discuss our plans. If our schedules mesh, we will travel with them a bit. If not … perhaps our paths will cross again.
I am ashore uploading photos to Facebook and sending this update as Larry is doing a gas/diesel run. We’ll make sure everything is topped off here before we venture further. This is one of the best places to provision in the south Bahamas but even it is very antiquated. Luckily, we’ve barely put a dent in the quantity of food we brought from the US so we only need fresh fruit/produce and maybe some hamburg/hotdog buns. Normal bread, we can make on our own so won’t buy any ashore.
We really started something yesterday when Larry asked questions on the cruiser’s net about the Garmin SD Card. Today, there was about a half hour discussion after the net was over and probably 20 boats participated. Larry went over to two boats to get their answers to the problem. He was able to unlock and install our card that we bought from the US and we are all set. (Larry: the card we bought, we had tested in our little GPS. Unfortunately as soon as you use it in one GPS, it will no longer work in any other GPS. It got “locked” to the little GPS unique ID. We had to unlock it so we could use it in our other GPS)
We will probably hang in this area for several days before heading to Long Island and beyond. However, we probably will leave the “town” area and hit the out-islands, where internet is not available. This may be the last internet for awhile. Not sure what options are out there as we proceed south.
Hope all is well with everyone.
