Island life - lazy days at Green Turtle.

Coconut bread, rum punches, curly-tail lizards, parrots flying across the setting sun - these are some of the sights, sounds and tastes of Green Turtle Cay.

The marina is full up now with sail and power boats sheltering from the strong easterlies that have been blowing for some days. We are very sheltered here at the Green Turtle Club, but across White Sound at the Bluff House Marina, boats are really feeling the draft!  The mix of boats at our marina is interesting, two boats from us is a 150 foot two-masted sail boat, and next to that a giant motor cruiser. 

The days pass gently here. We've walked lovely Coco Beach, and we've spent a day re-exploring the island with a golf cart.  We had a lovely day out yesterday with Geoff and Katya of 'Blue Planet'. They are moored close by in Black Sound.  We enjoyed a delicious lunch at the recently renovated
'Leeward Yacht Club', followed by drinks on board 'Zela', Bill & Carmen's boat docked at Bluff House. We've also had 'boat drinks' with Linda & Steve, whose 44 foot Island Packet has brought them all the way from Lake Michigan to these balmy shores.

Word is going around that Monday or Tuesday could be the day we cross through 'The Whale'.  We are in no particular hurry.
