Slowly Heading Home - to Green Turtle!

Green Turtle, Abacos
With Ivy Roberts, a Green Turtle
resident and our museum guide.
Ye Olde Gaol in Green Turtle
Miss Emily's - she makes a great
Goombay Smash!
After a great dinner with friends -
Can you tell we've been eating well?
After two weeks in Marsh Harbor, we finally got the engine repair done, so headed north to Green Turtle Cay. Its main settlement, New Plymouth, is among the best preserved of the original Loyalist settlements, and it hasn't been over-commercialized, so it's a great slice of Bahamian life. We met up with fellow Manta owners Tina and Scott from Annapolis yesterday, and had dinner at Sundowner's. Today, after a fierce thunderstorm this morning (including water spout and what felt like / looked like a microburst) we dinghied our bikes to shore, and spent the day riding through town, seeing the museum, and taking a long ride from Black Sound (where we are moored) to White Sound, at the north end of Green Turtle. White Sound has all the newer clubs / resorts, while Black Sound is closer to the Settlement of New Plymouth. Both are cool!
Getting a breath of air on the
foredeck, with interesting skies!
Stormy weather is predicted for the next few days, so we'll stay put here until it lifts. Enjoy the pix!
