Georgetown to Conception

Try keeping up with these Jones'


The Internet Cafe in Georgetown. Julius (not Erving) offers WiFi, phone calls by the minute, fax, and computer repair. Not fancy, but serviceable and very reasonably priced. As you can see, whoever built this place used a tape measure with the first foot broken off. It was amusing watching one person after another whop their head on the way out--despite a sign and a verbal warning by Dr. J.

After catching up on Internet business we made an early morning departure for the Island of Conception. It was a beautiful sail up until we cleared Cape Santa Maria, which lies off the Northern tip of Long Island, then the wind died forcing us to motorsail the remainder of the way.

Upon arriving at our destination, we were surprised by the number of boats already anchored. I think there were 13 boats our first night there. The first evening, we did meet the crews of Savage Son and Far Niente--both boats were on Lake Texoma where we spent many a Saturday.


Nice beach at Conception. But the sand was like 40 grit.

We snorkeled just north of our anchorage where there was a lot of structure but surprisingly few fish. There is a large reef which extends 3 or 4 miles north of Conception, but we did not check it out. A week or so before we got there, a delivery captain ran a 60 foot luxury motor yacht onto the reef at 20 knots. The salvage crew was already done and gone by the time we got there.


The sand on this beach was 320 grit--perfect.


Lisa go kill fish.
