This past month we traveled from Glass Window Eleuthera
Bahamas to George Town Exuma and back a little up to Emerald Bay Exuma (started heading North). We did spent one day at Cape Eleuthera Marina for fuel/water/laundry and the rest at
anchor. We experienced at least 2 gales and have had to hide from
weather a LOT!
We dined out a few times, once at a real restaurant and couple of times at beach type restaurant.
Entertainment expenses were for some Kindle
books, and a couple weeks’ worth of
Bahamas WiFi that didn’t
work well at
anchor in George Town (don’t understand the attraction people have for George Town).
We had two good stops for
provisioning and did restocking at them (Black Sound and George Town).
I still use my credit card, but in
Georgetown the bank ATM was easy to use so took a lot of cash out as the store adds 5% to your bill to use a credit card. Since people wanted to “fix” the cost of using my credit card last month this month I included the cash back I got from last month to this month’s credit card and ATM
fees.
During one of the gales our
head sail unrolled a little and it took me hours to “fix” due to the dark and conditions. This resulted in it beating itself and the
rigging tearing out the stitching for the UV cover. That was much more sewing than we able to do so that was a sail
repair at this little shack place in George Town.
I think
water costs are low by $30 or so because the marina charged based on 100 gal instead of 1 gal, but it is what I paid
