CODA : Living the life in the Exuma Islands, Bahamas.
24 February 2025
Sand Dollar Beach mooring field (#42), Elizabeth Harbour, Georgetown, Great Exuma Cay, Bahamas
Our friend John heading back home to Vermont.
Marc- We brought Coda over to Kidd Cove off of Regatta Point and found a spot to anchor near White Seal (Mary Langworthy's boat). The area was quite congested with boats seeking protection, due to a forecasted cold front coming soon. We needed to drop John off so he could catch his flight. We then began a fuel shuttle to fill our diesel tank from the Shell station. This is the most reliable way to get fuel and unfortunately their pump dock is on Lake Victoria and only accessible to dinghies and small runabouts. Sue came over on the final run to get a few items at the Exuma Market. We had hoped to get some free RO water but there was quite a line waiting. Some of the boats come with 150 gallon rubber bladder tanks while others come with multiple jugs.
We returned to the less hectic side of the harbor at mooring # 42 for our continued stay.
We do enjoy walking these sandy trails about the island. Some trails are more rough coral than sand and are less desirable.
End of the red trail on the ocean side of Stocking Island.
Note the ocean appears to have undermined the ancient coral formation here and the some big waves broke it off.
An observation about tracks in the sand: dogs never step on other dogs tracks while humans tend to stomp all over each others footprints.
We came back through the Artist's trail and passed by my favorite bronze goose.
Back aboard Coda I took this calm photo looking south.
I took this photo looking to the west. It appears to me that something is brewing weather wise.
Suspicious looking clouds from my meteorology class 20 years ago.
The Weather Channel shows a Cold Front approaching from the northwest.
There is a forecast of a low pressure system developing to the east of Florida that will affect The Bahamas. We will just hunker down until it all passes. The white dot is Coda's location.

One of the aluminum ladders with the big hook arms at the top, hooked on the front of the dingy made getting in from the water a breeze when snorkling.
