This will be our last night in Green Turtle Cay, we have had a great time but we must be moving on. We need fuel, water and supplies and we’ve been told the Big city of Marsh Harbour is the place for that. If we can get a slip at Marsh Harbour Marina we will do that. The trick is getting there, from here it is not very far, about 27 miles, but there is one small area of about 2 miles that is tricky. It’s called Whale Cay, or as some folks say “The Whale” or “doing Whale Cay” whatever, it is an ocean passage that is a narrow cut between Whale Cay and some nicely placed rocks. With the wind blowing hard from the east right into this passage it sometimes makes large rolling breaking waves, so you have to time yourself so you are not there when the waves are breaking. Every morning at 8:15 there is a cruisers radio broadcast from Marsh Harbour that gives weather reports and also Whale Channel reports. Everyone listening can chime in on a topic and comment. So tomorrow morning looks like a good time for “doing the Whale”, if we find it is too rough for us we can turn around anchor someplace and wait till Sunday which actually looks even better than tomorrow.
Here’s a picture of Virginia happy as can be driving the dinghy around from White Sound after a day at the beach.
