Green Turtle Cay 2/25-28/06

We left Spanish Cay early Friday morning so that we could get a little ahead of some bad weather coming this way. We wanted to make sure we didn't get stuck too far away from Hope Town where we are meeting friends on March 1st. We stayed at, and fell in love with, Green Turtle Cay Club in White Sound. Just a short walk, over a hill on the northern side of the island, to the ocean. Excellent restaurant and everything is clean, well run and maintained. We spent the afternoon, before we left, in the small town in Black sound where we picked up some lobster and visited other Loopers who were on mooring balls there. The wind storm caught up to us on Saturday and we were glad to be tucked away in a safe, well protected, harbor. We stayed a little longer than we had hoped, waiting for a good day to cross over the Whale Cay Passage.

Whale Cay Passage is a, sometimes treacherous, cut between the Atlantic Ocean and the Sea of Abaco. In certain conditions, this pass can easily develop a "rage" of 8-10-foot seas. We had hoped to visit a few more places before Hope Town like Marsh Harbor and a few anchorages but figured we could catch those on the way back. Tuesday looked like the day to go and we had a good crossing and were glad we got to Hope Town when we did.
