George Town

After two days of not leaving the boat we finally ventured out thanks to Elvis's Water Taxi. Elvis is a lovely local man who seems to keep quite busy ferrying people around this very large harbor. Have I mentioned that Elizabeth Harbour is HUGE? It was so choppy on the harbor that waves were crashing over the bow of his boat. While we were in town George got the shortest haircut of his life. We both actually like it, though. We also dumped our garbage, walked around, stopped in a few shops, bought a few groceries and ate lunch. We got a kick out of their system to handle cruisers' trash. There is a very small dump truck parked near Exuma Market. Taped to the driver's side window is a sign with the prices ($2.00 for a small bag, $3.00 for a large bag). The window is open about an inch. You drop your money through the opening and leave your bag(s) in the bed of the truck. After a few hours in George Town we took the water taxi back to Breeze On. We actually had a bonus tour o
f the Stocking Island side of the harbor, since Elvis had other passengers to drop off there. I would also like to mention that he picked us up and dropped us off in very windy, choppy conditions and his boat never touched ours. Impressive.
