Leaving Green Turtle Cay to cross the Whale

Monday 23 February 2015

     We'll be leaving Green Turtle Cay to cross the Whale into the Sea of Abaco in a few hours. We've waited a long time for this as the weather has not been calm enough to cross any earlier. We've had a good time here - lots of exploration and beach walks - but it has been very cool and extremely windy.  For a couple of days the day time highs hovered around 58F, with a wind chill!!! Brrrr. Hard to believe in the sunny Bahamas.
      Our next stop will be at Great Guana Cay - home of the famous (infamous) 'Nipper's Bar', and the Barefoot Man concerts.  We'll anchor for the night in Fisher's Bay and then sail to Treasure Cay for two nights. Then we'll head to Marsh Harbour for a few days, and, finally, we'll end up at the end of the rainbow - beautiful Hope Town. We have booked a dock at the Hope Town Marina for the month of March.

Extremely high and low tides have left some boaters unable to get back on their boats!


Lots of country lanes to discover on Green Turtle Cay


Bill walks the wild and lovely Atlantic beach - Green Turtle Cay


There's no golf on Green Turtle Cay, but plenty of golf carts.


Lunch at Harvey's in New Plymouth with David & Linda.


Green Turtle Cay - Eddie cooks up delicious conch and lobster salads right at the end of our dock!
