George Town to Thompson Bay, Long Island

Yesterday we had a wonderful day of sailing from George Town to Thompson Bay, Long Island. The waves were quite large and hitting us on the beam when we left the southern end of harbor but settled down nicely as we got further away from the deep water of Exuma Sound. Once we arrived at Thompson Bay we saw that there were no other cruising boats in the harbor. We were traveling with our friends on Desiderata II and, after we got settled, we all went for a mid-afternoon meal at Tiny’s Hurricane Hole. This morning we dinghied to shore and dumped our garbage, visited the wonderful Seafarer’s Marine Supply, and then Hillside Food Supply. The welcoming attitude toward cruisers as well as the sturdy dock, convenient spot for garbage near the dock, marine store, and food store are all things that make Thompson Bay a favorite anchorage of ours. 

As we were walking from Seafarer’s to Hillside it started to rain. We didn’t mind getting wet, though, because we were happy the boat was finally getting a much-needed bath. 

Lots of room in Thompson Bay. If you squint you might see Breeze On and Desiderata II. 

This store is amazing, much better than the West Marine at home.
