Time to leave George Town

We’ve had a great stay here at Red Shanks but it’s now time to move on to other islands. We’ve done a lot of weather watching and wind watching to figure out where to go next. This morning our plan was to head to Long Island but tonight we’ve decided to sail to Cat Island. Tomorrow’s wind is predicted to be about 15knots (gusting to 20knots) from the south east which is perfect for sailing to Cat Island. If we went to Long Island, we would be motoring into the wind (and waves) all the way. We are very excited to be heading out again and to revisit Cat Island.

The sad part of our departure tomorrow is that our friends Jane and Steve (on Daydreams ll) will not be travelling with us. They have decided to start heading north to explore parts of the Exumas that they haven’t seen yet and to revisit some of their favourite spots. So in the morning, we will head north east to Cat Island and Daydreams will head north west to Lee Stocking Island. We will definitely catch up with them at some point before we jump back to the USA. So we wish them fair winds and following seas as they enjoy the Exumas!

Crimson Kathryn is mostly packed up and secured for an early morning departure. We should have good wifi at Cat Island so we’ll send another post once we’re there. But for now, here are some photos from the past few days.

Mark is fixing our leaky dinghy again – 3rd time’s the charm…right?

Can’t get enough of the crazy blue water!

There is is a boat ramp beside this tree – south of Red Shanks near Rolle Town.
We walked up to the top of the hill near Rolle Town. Quite the view!!
Same view – just can’t get enough of that water!!
Our dinghy is on a beach near the house in this photo!
We had one last happy hour with Daydreams ll on our boat tonight.

  1. We have had a great time buddying with you. Have a great sail to Cat. No doubt we will see you before we cross back to Florida. Have fun and safe travels. I’m saving some bubbly for when we meet again.
