Bahamas - St Georges Cay, Spanish Wells, Exploring the Island

We arrived on Monday, and going ashore found it was Labour Day weekend and a public holiday. As there was constant light rain, we ended up spending the day aboard, playing Mexican Trains.

Going ashore on Tuesday, we rented a Golf Car to tour the island, although not very big, it is narrow and long.

The Ferry dock which we tied up close to, directly ashore is the ALIV cellular shop (where we bought a wifi new unit and data as our GoogleFi is not tethering) and Golf Car Rental store

Renowned  R&B Boatyard with full haul out facilities for yachts up to about 25 foot wide

Lunch and Beers at iconic Buddas









That evening we went to the ShipYard Restuarant for a wonderful meal out






Next day was sunny, so we unfurled the Genoa to dry, and then lowered it for sail repair. We had torn the Leach Line sailing to Spanish Wells


It was back breaking work, sitting on my butt with the sewing machine on the floor too. Nicholas had to help feed the heavy sail through the machine.
