Lots of little sails between scenic sites, music activities (we 4 aboard did
the anthem last Sunday at beach church, e.g., and have enjoyed singing
barbershop harmony as well, aboard, plus the weekly jam at the Sand Bar
restaurant along with the weekly ARG [Alcohol Research Group] meetings held
on Hamburger Beach), shore excursions, hikes, snorkeling and the like.

Sounds like you and Lydia are having way too much fun in George Town.
Just checked our logs from last year and we passed through there in
late January on our way south. We only stayed one night because we
were well provisioned and eager to be on our way to the Turks and
Caicos. That's a trip you might think about if you get tired of
sitting at anchor. For us it was a relatively easy two day run with a
quick stop behind the reef at Abrams Bay, Mayaguana. The winter
weather in the T&C is considerably better than in the Bahamas, and the
social ambience at South Side Marina in Provo is quite good.

Has there been any progress resolving the 30 day visa issue in the
Bahamas or are people just ignoring it?
