Green Turtle Cay

We left Spanish Cay marina on Monday morning in perfect weather and perfect wind headed to Green Turtle Cay only 15 miles away.  Our entire trip only took 3 hours before we anchored. Our plan was to stay for a few days to explore the island we had heard so much about. We anchored on the outside since it was low tide and entrance into either of 2 harbors needs at least mid tide for our draft. So once the anchor set we put the dingy down and went into the town, New Plymouth.  Jane walked to the BTC office at the top of the hill to get a new sim card for our pay as you go phone. She was told they would not have any until Thursday. So we went to a grocery store with a small selection of produce and walked out with about 5-6 items $39 less in our wallet. Items in the Bahamas are more expensive but it seems even more so in the Abacos than the Exumas.  Anything pre packaged is really pricey so those things need to be well stocked on your boat. After we left town we dingied through both harbors to find mooring balls and boats anchored.  There did not seem to be enough to keep us busy for a week so we decided to leave before getting stuck longer with a front moving through over the weekend.
