Green Turtle Cay, Bluff House Marina

3-16-2014: Got a fairly early start so we could get through the channel to White Sound, Green Turtle Cay, about high tide because of our deep draft. Had no problem and got to our marina, Bluff Harbour, by 09:00. We got settled in and went for a walk around the cove to Green Turtle Marina which was about 1 mile. It was very warm out, 85 degrees, and it was a good walk. This evening we walked over the hill and down to the beach and had fish fry at the Tranquil Turtle Beach Bar. We had Snapper and Conch; very good. This was the first time I had banana pancakes with fish! Different but good.

3-17 & 18-2014: Green Turtle Cay, Bluff House Marina: We rented a golf cart on Monday and went over to Black Sound, and looked around the small town of New Plymouth. Did the sight seeing thing, got a few groceries, a few souvenirs, and had lunch at the Wrecking Tree restaurant. In the afternoon we went to the beach on the Atlantic side and looked for shells again. Still no luck. Spent Tuesday getting caught up on things and waited a storm out. We are waiting on a good day to go around Whale Cay on the Atlantic side. We are hoping for tomorrow, but will not know til morning.

CO’s comments: Having a great time; enjoying the Abaco.

1st Mates comments: Have to agree with the CO with an addition that it is a very relaxing time with plenty of warm sun and a constant breeze that keeps us real comfortable.
