3/16/09 - Arrival in Georgetown

I apologize for not responding to those who have commented on the blog this past week; I've had very limited internet time. Wayne appreciated the birthday greetings, though, and has asked me to pass along his thanks. We can send email and blog posts via our satellite phone, but it takes a lot of time and patience - we keep losing our satellite connection and the data service is so slow that our messages don't get a chance to be sent or received before losing the signal. And it's far too slow to actually do anything on the blog, like edit messages, add photos, or respond to comments.

We left Black Point on Saturday, anchored off Heddy's Land on Big Guana Saturday night, and Cave Cay Sunday night.

For the past week our inclination has been to skip going to George Town - too many other boaters, too far away, etc. So I have no idea what got into us this morning that made us say, "Let's go to George Town today," especially since the winds would be on our nose. So we left at 10:00, and 6.5 hours later - here we are. We don't expect to spend more than 2-3 days, but at least we'll get a taste of it. From here we start to make our way north, and at a more rapid pace than we made our way south.
