BLUE TANG anchored off Stocking Island
This anchorage is called Monument Beach because as you hike to the top of the mountain you come to a commemorative monument and a gorgeous view showing Exuma Sound looking down one side (as shown here looking toward Great Exuma Island) and looking toward the Atlantic on the other side. Blue Tang is the second boat up, bottom left. There are numerous anchorages such as this in the George Town area, accommodating over 400 boats during the cruising season.

| Pathway on Hamburger Beach to Atlantic Ocean |
Another popular anchorage is Hamburger Beach. All kinds of cruisers' meetings take place here, from yoga exercises to happy hour get-togethers. Of course there is a famous hamburger joint, which will be the subject of another post. A 5-minute walk will get you from one side of Stocking Island to the other. You can see that the beach is not crowded in spite of the numerous boats in the area, due to the vast spaces extending for miles. This an inspiring place to walk and contemplate.

The glorious water brings boaters here year after year.
We never tire of looking at the water, but subsequent George Town posts will feature local architecture and personas, straw markets, and of course the beaches. |
