2010..........George Town, Long Island, Cat Island And The Turn Back West Toward Home :(

Elizabeth Harbour is said to be a beautiful and spacious sheltered basin attracting lots of cruising boats. The harbor lies between Stocking Island and Great Exuma Island. The Exuma Sound is just outside Stocking Island. George Town settlement is located just off the harbor on Great Exuma. It has everything, providing more concentrated facilities than anywhere else in the Exumas. We should arrive in Georgetown about Tuesday, May 18th. We hope to pick up a couple more victims, a.k.a. cruising companions, here and stay about 4 nights. There should be lots to do here and also a good spot to pick up provisions. Hopefully we can work in a couple days fishing here also.

About 20 miles East of George Town is Long Island. At the Northern end of Long Island is Cape Santa Maria. A few miles South of the Cape is Stella Maris Marina. Stella is the farthest point from home on our trip. It will give us access to the Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Hopefully we can get protection from the wind for one or the other and should also provide some excellent reef fishing. Probably just stay a couple nights here and move on to Cat Island.

From 2010 2nd 3rd 4th Leg

Slightly Northwest of Long Island about 30 miles is Cat Island. The Southern tip of Cat Island is Hawk's Nest Point. There is a resort and marina there and the chart looks like a wonderland for fishing. Lots of reefs and easy access to the Sound and the Atlantic. This could be the spot for the big haul. We will probably stay 3 nights or so at Hawk's Nest Point. This is where we will say goodbye to our second set of cruisers for their return home. CJM and I will then head north toward Eleuthera for a few days before heading back toward Nassau.

Stay tuned....
