We haven't stayed in a marina since our arrival in Bimini. It has been two months since we last had showers on land. Laundry has been getting done at the occasional laundramat we would find (and find acceptable) - otherwise we were resorting to doing laundry in a bucket and hanging it out on the life lines to dry. You might call it roughing it, but given the surroundings we enjoy on a daily basis, you might not.
What I am getting at is.... it was time. Time to pamper ourselves a bit and find a dock with some facilities to get a few necessary chores done. The destination....Emerald Bay Marina..... about 10 miles north of Georgetown but once we pulled in and sampled the land based accomodations it felt like a world away.
The showers are phenomenal with a wonderfully unlimited source of hot water and toiletries to boot. The laundry room even better. Equipped with fairly new big front loading machines - we did six big loads and it is so wonderful to have everything on board clean again.
For dinner we decided to treat ourselves and walked over to the restaurant at a local resort. Dinner was splendid and the poolside atmosphere relaxing.
It was a great last stop before we begin the journey north. But just because we are headed north doesn't mean there aren't new and exciting destinations in store. Stay tuned for more fun!

We enjoyed our stay at Emerald Bay. Always nice to have a little touch of luxury once in awhile!
