Departing Black Point, south to Georgetown

The laundry can wait.......no more trips to shore, we are heading south again!

The forecast was for winds to be east or a little further to the north so we pulled anchor and headed south.  The sail down the bank was a lot of fun and we made it to Galliot Cut in 90 minutes.  From there we had to go out the cut and it just after high tide and the outgoing current wasn't too bad and no standing waves.

We had a tight beat down the Exuma Sound and along the way we met up with our friends on Escapaid.  It just so happens that we passed them at the time they landed a beautiful Mahi.....44 inches long!  Stand by for the picture of it.........I have it but can't find it yet!

We ended up sailing most of the time but we should have gone out another 1/2 miles further and we did have the motor on to stay away from the angry shore.  At 4pm we entered Elizabeth Harbor and made it to our first anchorage in Georgetown......the Mecca for many cruisers.
