Wednesday
0803 - Good morning from Georgetown, Great Exuma Island, a settlement of 1000 personas and our 2nd to last stop along the Exuma highway. Finally getting dialed into the weather forecasts on the SSB from Chris Parker on 4502 at 0630 and Herb
on 12359 at 1430 enabled a sweet beam reach sail down Exuma Sound yesterday and the outlook is most encouraging for our jump to Conception Cay via Cape Santa Maria on the tip of Long Island. The luxury of typing this from Audax is due to the successful internet connection
beaming out of this maximum security pit bull protected home shown (two tone white/yellow) that Jordi unselfishly braved his life to visit and negotiate the transaction: 1 pass code for $5! (Option B: $18/hour at the local internet cafe!).
Provisioning at the Exuma market, a quick topside cleaning (in the islands it is a good deal when water only cost 20 cents/gallon) and plans to stop at the Georgetown Marina this PM for a 10 gallon drop off operation of well traveled “poopyjuice”

Monday
2208 – Bunk rotation and a routine day….dare we become too complacent in our enjoyment of this wonderful area. Scrolling through all our photos since Day 1 was the featured entertainment tonight aboard the Audax after a couple hands of the card game Hearts at cocktail hour. With provisions running low and no ice to speak of our trip to the metropolis of Georgetown tomorrow shall be a welcome return to civilization.
Today and yesterday we got a true Bahamian cultural
experience at Black Point Settlement. A friendly, but non touristy destination. 
Despite being a bit dirty (see island report) the overall vibe was strong although we did need to ante $10 for an hour of online time (free coffee was included!) at Lorraine’s café. Spectacular cliffs and dingy exploration upon arrival at Big Galliot Cay just shy of Galliot Cut and the entrance to Exuma Sound.
Fun times picking up trash and Black Point’s version of a Super Wall Mart

Just read your updates…shared the awesome underwater photos with Arthur this afternoon down at the coast - everyone enjoys keeping up with your adventures! I will be glad to hear when your poopyjuice problem is resolved - got an atlas so have a bit better idea or your locations…is weather Herb the same as the one in World Voyagers?
The photos of the stores etc give a good idea of the communities down there!

PS the photo of the sails reflected in the water is beautiful

Fellas,
Mike Ternosky (Mr. T) forwarded your site address onto me. Awesome trip. It’s great wasting time at work reading about your trip as I sit in Philly watching it sleet out my window. Anyway, my parents own a home on Great Exuma, and I’ve been going there all my life. If you need any bits of advice let me know. Definately check out Chat n Chill. Myself and the younger Mike T. have spent many an afternoon there. My suggestion, have a handful of Kaliks and then dive the cave in the hurricane hole. late
