George Town, Great Exuma, Bahamas

We are planning to head north a little further again tomorrow and today about mid morning our Propane cooking gas cylinder ran out. This would normally leave us with about 3 weeks supply but our last fill seemed a bit light so we decided to enquire in George Town again before departing.

We went to the Shell petrol station as mentioned in our pilot book, but for the second time in a row they do not do propane but gave us a number of a local man who can collect and refill. We tried the other petrol station up the road, same story but they telephone the guy for us, no reply. We decide we’ll risk it as a couple of our stops before Nassau list having propane, well according to the pilot book anyway.

We have a bit of a walk around the town and pick up a couple of other bits and pieces but there isn’t a great deal in George Town of interest. We decide to head back to the boat and spend the afternoon doing a bit of reading and fighting with the intermittent free Wifi signal until aggravation wins out and we shut down.
