you

Georgetown is a mecca of the cruising

world where between 200 and 300 boats

congregate for the winter months the

exact count was 274 by the time we left

to us this place seemed like summer camp

for grownups so many activities on

volleyball Beach tons of people to hang

out with lots to see and do in the

beautiful blue waters of Elizabeth

Harbor we were anchored right in front

of Monument Hill and decided to hike to

the top to see the view

[Music]

why so serious

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so what you gotta do when you don't have

a drone just do a little hiking

[Music]

of course the battery's about to die god

I thought I charged it or a shock might

a shock with day

the sound on the west side of the island

was unlike anything I've ever heard

before

ominous

[Music]

[Music]

of course we had to leave our mark

[Music]

we just pulled up and we're on our way

over to a curb right in front of

volleyball beach which is Stocking

Island it's gonna be closer to the south

[Music]

the arc flash try it front row seats to

the big boat races that the Georgetown

regatta puts on annually

they say this is your chance to race

your winter home and that is is that

actually from Cinderella sounds like it

and catching up very quickly is a little

behind it's a little Bahamian sloop he

is just flying it'll be something to see

as they come up past $10 Beach and on

past volleyball Beach the board they're

coming in on

[Music]

[Music]

super cool

bohemian sloop oh yeah they're passing

them both because they're on the they

call it the windward side so they're

hired up into the wind so they can fall

off a little bit they just pass those

guys and they're awesome

let me give you a little tour of

volleyball Beach the cruisers playground

Johnson

may have gotten carried away here one of

the nights to find out more you'll have

to read the blog on bums on about.com

[Music]

[Music]

did not help it

I'll hide your volleyball player

[Music]

hello hello we're CJ and Eric on SPU

Ragnarok and we stalk bums on a boat all

the way to the Bahamas so here we are in

Georgetown enjoying a beautiful sunset

where did you buy the boat Tennessee

Knoxville not far from and how long have

you been living aboard / cruising we've

owned the boat for four years and we

have been cruising for one and a half

years yep and we're hoping to keep on

going further south the original name of

the boat was Ragnar and when we bought

the boat the owners went through the

process of taking off the name and they

renamed the boat aloha Makai but we make

a model of the Buddha's in Aloha 34 so

it was weird to have an Aloha named

Aloha and when they told us the name was

Ragnar he liked Ragnarok I didn't know

what Ragnar was by doing Ragnarok

wearing it well thank you for

introducing yourself thank you

Georgetown

[Music]

it's where most of the boats anchor

we're right in front of what they call a

volleyball Beach this is the name of the

island do you remember Stanley island

stocking stocking island this is a good

place to anchor it's pretty much the

closest route to the fuel the store the

water the trash

other than right up there you can see if

some folks that are anchored that would

be the closest you can get

so that big tower is a great landmark

when you're out on the Anchorage just

head towards that tower and you'll find

alright chirp Ridge

[Music]

dinging docks and the man

[Music]

crash disposal is based on the honor

system $2.00 for a small bag in $3 for a

big bag goes right inside of the driver

side window it is propane Wednesday and

I'm going to show you the line somebody

drives up I guess and fills all the

propane up on Wednesday

stand-in Chris look who I ran into $3.00

per load and you're gonna probably have

to wait in line full of diesel full of

tank today we just got some more

groceries I've got water we did some

laundry we're gonna hang dry that a

little more in there we got water there

to fill up we got a solar shower we're

gonna have to pull the dinghy up pull

the outboard up and mount it it's time

to get moving

[Music]

you must be very aware when navigating

these waters you can see all the trouble

around us

happy birthday

- birthday

she's up here doing probably over 6

knots right now

we're just entering the comer channel

this is the best way for us to get to

the south side of the islands very

shallow waters but we were at high tide

so last night we came here past hog cut

came around this point here came down

and then we came in the comer channel

you can see the depths we were right

around seven foot depths this whole

entire way and then we came up and

dropped anchor right here this morning

we've come down though we've stayed on

this all the way to here and right now

we're just just about to start heading

into the deep on a direct route all the

way down to South Point of Long Island

so we have successfully made it to the

south end of the island which is pretty

difficult for our boat

just dropped anchor close to the South

Point of Long Island we're within

striking distance of crooked iOS which

we might go for tomorrow once we get

well we did leave the next day and you

won't want to miss what happens next

time what you see here is only the

beginning
