We are into the first week of spring, but it still feels like winter.\u00a0 We finally made it south to Georgetown on Great Exuma, a great jumping off spot for going further south, but the weather has us pinned here.\u00a0 Georgetown is the largest settlement in the Exumas by some factor of 10 or so!\u00a0 It\u2019s where everyone gets last provisions before heading into the remote regions beyond.<\/p>\n

So we are wiping through our newly acquired provisions just sitting here in a very bumpy anchorage.\u00a0 I am surely getting tougher at bumpy conditions, as I attempt to continue work on my little tapestry.<\/p>\n

One day, we were visited by this turtle numerous times.\u00a0 Considering how shy turtles are, how quickly they disappear whenever we reach for our camera, we were amazed that this guy kept diving down and returning to look at us yet again.\u00a0 He hung out with us for quite a while.\u00a0 It\u2019s our first successful photo of turtle after years of attempts!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We think this is a green turtle, but what fascinates me about them is how beautifully golden they are.\u00a0 They seem to have their own light as they glow right below the surface of the beautiful waters here.\u00a0 I wish we could have captured that in the photo.\u00a0 You cannot imagine how this guy glowed like golden sunlight as he floated near us.\u00a0 Stunning!<\/p>\n

Yesterday we spent a little time onshore Stocking Island (across from Great Exuma) and had lunch at St. Francis resort<\/a> and then a walk on the ocean side beach, where the waves were truly impressive.\u00a0 Seeing the force of the Atlantic made me quite thankful for our sheltered anchorage, even if it is considerably less ideal that I would prefer!<\/p>\n

Here is the view of the anchorage off Stocking Island from St. Francis’s outdoor dining deck.<\/p>\n
