Muti

Mon Feb 27th 2023 (12 NM; 2.5 hrs) - Left for Georgetown to do some provisioning. Anchored up at Sand Dollar Beach with the masses. Sand Dollar anchorage is an easy dinghy ride to Georgetown. As the ocean water was crystal clear in the bay we made fresh water to replenish our supply. Muti has a water-maker that will produce 17 gph (60 lph); it runs off our batteries so it free! (So Rob says). We make water every 3 or 4 days.  Tue Feb 28th 2023 - Dinghy’ed over to Exuma market with the crowds to provision. The provision ship arrives Tuesday mornings; there was a lot more to choose from, even found an ice cream. We used our folding bikes to cycle the 3 mile trip to Browns marine store to purchase a replacement boat hook for the one Rob lost at Little Farmers Cay. Road was narrow, full of potholes, and crazy drivers making the ride very precarious! Lunch was a pizza in Georgetown before saying adios. Not the best place to visit, definitely good place to provision. Very crowded, didn’t hel

Sun Feb 12th 2023 - Hunkered down in Little Bay on Guana Cay but could not escape the 20 kn west wind overnight, there was nowhere to hide! We find the Exumas has few anchorages that provide west wind protection and they are always packed (and perilous). At least Rob made us some tasty sourdough bread! Mon Feb 13th thru Fri Feb 17th 2023 (44 NM; 8 hrs) Motor sailed to Emerald Bay Marina, wind directly behind us, which Muti doesn’t like. We docked inside the protected harbor, the first thing we noticed is NO WIND - without discussion we decided to spend the week for a reprieve from the incessant wind. The marina is well protected with floating concrete docks. A week of bliss. Nice and relaxing, completed a couple of boat chores. Oh my, the blackened mahi-mahi sandwiches at the nearby Grand Isles resort are gastric heaven. Sat Feb 18th 2023 (12 NM; 2.5 hrs) - Onwards to Georgetown. When leaving the marina we passed a National Geographic ship coming in that looked so cool. In Georgetown,
