Emerald Bay - Great Exuma Island

After “roughing” it for a couple of months on the hook, we were looking forward to getting spoiled with a little dock time. We also needed to get the Commodore to Georgetown for her flight back to the states. We found a lovely marina in Emerald Bay, Great Exuma. We had a rough run getting there, as rain and wind moved in but the entrance to Emerald Bay is protected by two jetties and once we had rounded the first jetty, we had a nice smooth approach.

The marina was beautiful and a much needed break for all of us. It was situated next to a beautiful resort and golf course as well as a Sandals Resort. Here is a video tour:

Once we were checked in and settled, we headed out to explore the area. The grounds were beautiful. The clubhouse and facilities were stunning and inviting. We could get used to this!

Enjoying the free wifi

We quickly settled into a routine of relaxation. Enjoying the cable TV, free wifi, free washers and dryers, long hot showers, delicious coffee from Jamaica, and a gorgeous view. We visited the local pizza pub and even walked a couple of miles each way to enjoy huge burgers down island. 

As if all that wasn't enough, Steve and I took advantage of Sandals being right next door. As a couples only resort, we relaxed in the quiet, child-free, honeymoon atmosphere, with delicious food and libations. At times, the resort was almost empty, giving us access to the pool all to ourselves.

All to ourselves

Bliss

So good, we ate it two nights in a row!

After 10 days of gluttonous bliss, it was time for Commodore Peggy to fly out and for Miss Daisy to move on. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Emerald Bay and would highly recommend it to anyone cruising in the Great Exumas Georgetown area.

Back to "roughing" it on the hook. Next up, Musha Cay and the underwater piano and mermaid!
