Georgetown

As mentioned in the previous post, finding a place to anchor was a bit of a challenge.  We wanted to anchor on Stocking Island across the harbor from Georgetown.  We found if there was an opening big enough to anchor in, it was because the depth was too shallow or to deep.  Not to mention we were both tried from the long ride and hungry.  It got a little frustrating....but we finally found a spot to squeeze into just below the monument....right off monument beach close to the hiking trail that leads to the monument.  

Saturday morning we took the dingy over to Georgetown to get rid of our trash and pop into the market for bread, eggs and lettuce.  The market was surprising big!  Everything you could need, but just not a large selection or quantity.  There was only a few bags of hot dog buns left and all the loaf bread was gone except what they had left stacked in the crates.  Just happy to have more bread and buns. 😉 

To get into town you have to go under this bridge into a little bay where there is a dingy dock behind the market.   As we were approaching the bridge a black tip shark was heading in but we spooked it! 

Several turtles hanging out in the bay.  

Cute church up on the hill.

Pretty popular place!

The trash truck is located just off the dock.  $5 per bag....the honor system, just drop the bills in the window.  

Heading back out to the harbor.  

Once are chores were done we headed out for the hike up to the monument.  

Definitely worth the hike!

Back to the beach, where the rest of the day we played in the water and run around in the dingy. 

We spent 2 nights in Georgetown....the farthest we are going south.  Because of weather we decided to take advantage of the calm seas and start working our way back north.  Next stop Blackpoint.
