Emerald Bay, Great Exuma Island
With Angie’s Mom, Alvina, (Oma to the kids) flying in for the week, we moved the boat 10 miles north to the Four Seasons/Emerald Bay marina. The brand new, 200-slip marina charged a special rate of $.75/foot including all the laundry you could do. (we managed 8 loads) They even laid out “the Emerald Bay red carpet” in front of our boat. We loved the free shuttle to the market and the sister resorts’ pool and hot tub. The “high season” occupancy rate of the condos and marina was less than 10% while they were still building more units and more amenities! What they really needed to do was complete the breakwall to the marina entrance to stop the waves breaking into the marina. Of course, her luggage and all our “supplies” from the states did not make it! If you can believe it, the taxi driver said he could get the luggage with no claim check or ID. We waited and waited for the luggage to come in the next day and finally called the airport.. no plane for awhile. The kids really wanted to do the Georgetown pet parade with their decorated hermit crabs. Thanks to Exodus, another Manta, for agreeing to deliver the luggage to Georgetown. So we cast off back to Georgetown, sorry to leave the marina life. Oma loved it so much she wanted to go back.
