Under full sail at last!

With prevailing winds from the southeast for most of our southbound journey, there has been little opportunity to test Dream On under full sail. On the way to George Town, the wind moved north east and we had a great sail.

Elizabeth Harbour, George Town

A beautiful, vast, spacious sheltered harbour with many choices of anchorage and very popular with cruisers. Up to 400 boats anchor here during the March regatta.

A few survivors of a sisal plantation, Little Exuma Cay

Sisal growing started around the 1890s in the Exumas but was an unsuccessful crop due to its high salt content which tended to corrode the sisal processing machinery.

Williams Town stone beacon

The stone beacon, reminiscent of a Greek column and built over 200 years ago, once guided ships which picked up salt for export from Little Exuma Cay to Nova Scotia and North America.

Old cannon next to the stone beacon, overlooks the Atlantic to the north and this salt pond inland.
