Georgetown!

We made our way onto Georgetown, where we saw more boats than we had during our whole trip put together! All the boats anchor off an adjacent island to Georgetown, and at night with all the anchor lights on we look like out own star constellation! 

Georgetown itself was fairly quiet, but they had a supermarket with fresh fruit and vegetables, a luxury in these parts of the world! They also had a yellow school bus! 


The dingy quay especially for all the yachties that make their way here! 
Georgetowns main road in peak hour.

Iconic American yellow school bus!
All the yachts anchored in the bay.
Mum enjoying the beach.
We also enjoyed feeding and stroking the stingrays. A little scary at first but you got use to it!

Staniel Cay - Saying Goodbye to Dane!

 We moved on to the neighbouring island, Staniel Cay, where I had to say goodbye to my partner Dane. He was heading off to see his friends in Seattle, was sad to see him go! 



Fairly casual airport, no baggage counter, security check or cafe's! Present your ticket and your off!!

We also went snorkeling in Thunderball cave, where they filmed the James Bond movie, great little dive but unfortunately none of our photos came out very well!

Big Major Cay - Pig Beach!

We decided to stop off and visit Big Major Cay which is home to "Pig Beach". 

Wild pigs inhabit this island and come running / swimming up to your boat for food!! As you can imagine this has become quite a tourist attraction and we didn't want to miss out either! 


Mum and I on the beach.
 A great experience and lots of fun!!

My First Shark!

My first time snorkeling with a shark! 
It was just a baby really, but good size to start with. 


Spotted Eagle Ray.


Warderick Wells, Exuma Cays.

Warderick Wells in the Exuma Cays was one of the most beautiful places we went. We moored off the island for a few days, enjoying the water and snorkeling all the amazing reefs in the area. We saw sharks, spotted eagle rays, loads of fish and sea turtles! 



Most cruisers who visit the island climb up Boo Boo Hill, to the highest point of the island and leave a piece of drift wood with the name of their boat engraved on it. So naturally we didn't want to miss out!





Friday night is party night! After zooming round in the dingy inviting everyone to a beach party, we headed to the beach to meet everyone! Had a great night meeting all the cruisers and feeding the Hutia, a small rabbit like animal that came out to eat all our left over nibbles!




Johnny Depp's Island!

Took a slight de-tour to check out Johnny Depp's Island and dive on a sunken plane. Apparently when the flag is up, the man himself is there!

Iguanas on Allan's Cay!

A popular spot is Allan's Cay, where you can go ashore and feed the iguanas. They all race down to the beach when they hear a boat arrive. Very curious little creatures, they kept coming right up to me for food!







Lots of fun and definitely worth a visit.
