With the dinghy gas line not working properly, our best hope of a replacement fitting is the largest town in the Exumas - George Town so we headed out sailing all the way there from Children’s Cay arriving to find close to 200 other cruisers concluding their two week long “regatta”. It was something to see so many boats moored off Stocking Island opposite George Town. We decided to anchor in middle ground as it was away from the masses, close to town, and literally, in the middle of Elizabeth Harbor. Once ashore, we headed to “Top II Bottom” - the shop that had just about everything a boater could need including a new boat hook to replace the one lost at Little Farmer’s Cay, but they didn’t have the right fitting for our dinghy gas line. The best suggestion was to try the “Cruiser’s Net” - the daily 8 am communication via VHF radio that goes out to all 200 cruisers in the harbor in the hope that someone might have the part we need. Dinner was the last of the fish fried with jerk seasoning that was delicious.
