Arriving At George Town

Elizabeth Harbor has to be approached from the east side. Since the winds are generally from the east, we timed our arrival in George Town to the wind and sea forecast. We moved to Little Farmers Cay to stage for going out the cut the next day and on down to George Town. There were two other boats at Little Farmers Cay, Nikita from Seattle and Free@Last from Sidney, Australia. Both boats had young children on board and had been traveling together since Annapolis. We all departed together at 7 am in perfect sailing conditions. It was a fast trip and we were generally running 7.5 - 8 knots. Free@Last caught a Mahi Mahi and invited us and Nikita to share the catch. It was a wonderful evening and it was fun to watch the kids, two three year olds and a five year old, keep themselves busy in the cabin while we enjoyed good conversation in the cockpit. Hamish grilled the fish on the Bar B and it was excellent. Shortly after we anchored, Ann from Borrowed Horse brought three pounds of shark over to us. Neither of us has knowingly eaten shark (we are guessing it is probably in fish sticks and that sort of thing), but we were willing to give it a try. We grilled about a third of it a couple days later and while it was a good mild fish, neither of us cared for the texture. We gave our remaining shark to Brian on Wind Chaser as he likes shark very much.
