Days 32 & 33 - We Arrived at Emerald Bay Marina

We made it to Emerald Bay yesterday around 4:45 p.m. I was unable to update the blog last night because the marinas wifi internet connection was not available but BaTelCo came through today and got it fixed.
We are located about 15 miles north of George Town on the Great Exuma Island. It's a beautiful marina with all the amenities! We plan on staying here for 14 days. We got a super deal so why not stay and enjoy!
The trip took a little longer than planned because one of the air filters was dirty. Alan had to clean it while we were under way, so I drove the boat on one engine. That took over an hour to accomplish so needless to say our trip took a little longer than expected. We left Compass Cay at 11:10 a.m. and if everything went as planned we would have been here in 4 hours. But of course when you own a boat nothing ever seems to go as planned. We traveled on the Great Exuma Bank for half the trip and the water was very smooth but when we came through Galliot Cut to get into the Exuma Sound things got a little rough! It was suppose to be 2 ft. seas but it was more like 4 - 6 ft. swells. But we made it just fine and all is well. Here are a couple of pictures I took today of the marina and at the beach which is a short walk from the marina.
