The largest town in the Exhumas (an island chain in the Bahamas) is Georgetown. It is also the place where many cruisers congregate on their way to and from the Bahamas or Caribbean. We are always looking for kid boats and Georgetown is where you find them when in the Bahamas. A weather system with high winds was forecasted so we sailed to Georgetown as it offered the best protection from the wind and seas. We were also looking forward to finding other cruisers on similar paths. Georgetown did not disappoint. When we entered the bay we were amazed at the sight of all the anchored cruising boats. There were over 250 boats anchored in the large bay. At the center of the bay is a place called Chat N Chill. It is a small restaurant on the beach with picnic tables, volleyball courts, trees meant for climbing, rope swings and lots and lots of people to socialize with. It is the cruisers hangout while in Georgetown. After the big weather system passed by we moved Samadhi right into the middle of all the action just in front of Chat N Chill. We would spend the next 3 weeks here amongst the crowds of cruisers coming and going. Everyday we would hangout at Chat N Chill. We would play volleyball, discuss future and past travels. The kids would be building treeforts, playing soccer, swinging from tree branches and just running around having fun. At any given time there were no less than 30 kids of all different ages. We had a blast and made many friends, many of which are headed in the same direction as us. We also found a great place to run and workout and we nearly always had people join us in the morning for our workouts. We really loved our time in Georgetown and despite our excitement to continue making our way to the Caribbean, when the time came we were sad to leave.
