Georgetown, Bahamas

The night before we headed off from the DR to The Bahamas, we anchored off a resort island in the Bay of Semana.
Whilst we were sat having our sundowners, two small local fishing boats spent about two hours laying a net, and retrieving it.  Such hard work and after all that, not one fish was caught.  We really felt for them, so Daryl decided that a cool Heineken might help, they were thrilled!
Cheers!
My hunter/gatherer strikes again, a beautiful Mahi Mahi, caught en route.                                                                                
Meeting up with our good friend Andrea on his catamaran 'Lo Espirto de Stella' in Georgetown was a real treat. He always seems to be around when we have caught a big fish!
Waiting for gas refills in Georgetown can take all morning, luckily there is a watering hole across the road for a cold one and a chat, but after waiting about two hours, we gave up.

Daryl and I organized a dingy drift.  We tie all the boats together and drift down the bay, excellent fun meeting other cruisers with a glass of wine.
We love our citronella candles in the evenings, designed to repel bugs!  Well I suppose if they are in the candle they are not biting us!
