Our first day, Sunday, we stayed on board all day. the wind was blowing 25 gusting to 30k and it rained on and off. It was difficult to even get off the boat. So we spent the day reading, blogging, and planning for our return trip. We did get off at night to have a delicious dinner at the restaurant.
On Monday the wind was still pretty gusty so we rented a golf cart to drive into the town, New Plymouth. If we had taken the dingy it would have been a wet ride. We stopped in Green Turtle in January only for 1 overnight so today we wanted to see the town. It really is charming with very English overtones. We stopped into the grocery store to refresh the larder for the next week or so then did a little fun shopping. We found a model ship builder on a side lane where he displayed beautiful ships models in all sizes. Look what else we found there!! This is a little 3yr old female who is a little too fat but adorable just the same. We both got a little doggy fix.

| Peter and boat builder |
Peter bought a model of a traditional Abaco craft and we had to return at 4PM to collect it. We also did some shopping in a little gift store and walked the wild Atlantic beach side for shells. On our return trip to the marina Jane spotted a large wild pig crossing the road as well as lots of chickens along the side.
We had our last dinner out at the marina with Bill and Linda so we have literally 'eaten' our dock fees!
