February 13th- Green Turtle Cay Abaco Islands, Bahamas 

At this point we’ve spent around 2 weeks at GTC. It’s been a very relaxing time. We took the dinghy over to New Plymouth for groceries and lunch at Two Shorties. Coco Bay has been explored every day. The weather is warmer but not quite swimming weather yet.

After the rain.

There is a dock on Coco Bay where people feed the turtles.

Lots of happy morning walks.

Evergreen in the background.

Some scenes from New Plymouth.

At low tide, it can be difficult to climb onto these piers.

This guy was “eyeballing” us at Two Shorties. We were having chicken.

I drove a golf cart down this path with 3 or 4 inches to spare. I probably won’t do it again.

Grocery store.

We also went to a beach at the entrance to White Sound. This turned out to be a pretty good spot for shells. Ollie got in a bunch of play time and swimming. Much sand was added to Evergeen’s decor.

He does get tired, eventually.

Starfish. It probably measured more than 12″ across. Every once in a while a good photo just happens!

We don’t have a concrete plan but we feel like it’s time to move on. There are many charter boats visiting the harbor right now. We’re ready for a change. We feel lucky to have been able to use Outward Bound’s mooring for a few weeks. We hope to meet up with him a little further down the road. Tomorrow we’ll drop the mooring lines and point south. We’ll be passing through The Whale or Don’t Rock passage. Both offer unique challenges. We’ve done The Whale but not “Don’t Rock”. Hopefully I can keep the blog going. Internet coverage can be an issue.
