Monday March 19, 2018 - Layover at Green Turtle Cay

The day started by moving from the mooring we have been on for the last two nights to a dock about 300' away.  We were the second boat on the dock buy by the end of the day, it had 6 boats - a front is coming and everyone wanted the protection of this small, almost totally protected sound.   At 80 cents a foot (per night), the price was right.

Around noon, Robert and I went with Steve and Linda to a beautiful beach on the ocean side of Green Turtle Cay.  We had been told that there was a good place to snorkel about a mile up (north) the beach from the short (1/3 mile) walk across the cay. 

We returned at around 4pm and I stopped at the Boat Yard on the east side of Black Sound for some minor hardware I needed and some RO (reverse osmosis) water.  We dinghied back to True Blue and I did some boat work and met my new pier neighbors while Robert went to the close by Pineapples Bar and Grill for a beverage.

A little later, we went over to the boat in front of us for shared snacks and cocktails with 10 or 12 other cruisers.  Most of the group were Canadian - not that it really makes any difference.  One couple had flyed their helicopter all the way down and across from Quebec. 

At around 9pm, everyone returned to their boat and Robert and I went over to Skylark (Steve's boat) for lobster tails.  Of course, that was a hit.  We got  back to True Blue just before midnight.
