Marsh Harbour, Abaco was just as we remembered it. A place where you can find just about anything you would ever need but beautiful it is not. We stopped there on one day and left the next with a boat full of food and blisters on our feet. From there it was on to Treasure Cay. Now there's a contrast if there ever was one.
The harbour at Treasure Cay is surrounded by beautiful homes and a first class marina. There certainly isn't any poverty here. (..except for maybe us bums that show up looking for long hot showers and decent laundry facilities.) As an extra bonus, we had a pool to lounge around with a poolside bar, and a beach that has been rated one of the top 10 in the world! This cruising life can be tough some times!
The day we left Marsh Harbour to go to Treasure Cay was one of those days that make you say " man, this is the life!" On route our friends, on Island Pearl, caught a magnificent Mutton Snapper. As soon as we got there we headed to the beach where we were blown away by it's splendor. Once we had our fill of that, we hung out at the pool. To finish off the day we had a fabulous feast of Mutton Snapper on Folly watching the sun set. It was truly a perfect day. In fact we enjoyed it so much we stayed the following day as well.
Yesterday we left and sailed around the infamous "Whale" to Green Turtle Cay. The Whale Cut has been known to be quite treacherous in the wrong conditions so picking the right day is imperative; I'm happy to report that we hit it right. The wind was stronger than forcasted but the sea was tame and it was a piece of cake.
Believe it or not, our very good friend Kevin, who lives on Green Turtle, met us out there on the water. He just pulled his Boston Whaler up beside Folly, we tied him off, and he hopped on board. How's that for a welcome?
Our plan is to stay here on Green Turtle Cay for about three weeks. Carole-Anne, Harley's sister, is coming to visit in ten days and will be staying with us for ten. Should be a good time but.....
More about that next time.
The blues...!!! And, contrast with blue sky/blue water. I bet you will remember the taste of that snapper. N,x
