We have been relaxing and having a great time in George Town. We are anchored off of a large island to the east of George Town, called Stocking Island. On the highest point of the island, there is a large concrete monument, hence the name “Monument Beach” of the anchorage. On Thursday, we climbed up to the top with our friends Dirk and Nancy, and took some amazing photos. We had a swim at the end of the hike. The water temperature at the beach was about 82 degrees!

We have been to town to check out the groceries, and also had the great experience of getting our propane tank filled, Bahamas style! The propane truck comes once a week to town and all the boaters that need propane come into town to get filled up. Everyone lines up their tanks as they arrive, and this made for some pretty funny photos…

Friday night we went to the local hot spot called the Two Turtles Bar. They had a barbecue, and a live band. The band was great, and played a lot of Bob Marley tunes. We danced and partied until late, and had a beautiful dinghy ride back to the boat.
Yesterday I went for another hike with Barb and Steve and their dog Molly, a beautiful chocolate lab. They were with us in the Selene Rendezvous on their boat Maerin.
Tomorrow we will head out to Long Island, a 35 mile run southeast of George Town. We will probably stay there for about a week, and perhaps rent a car. We will most likely return to George Town before starting our trek North toward Nassau and the Abaco.
