Green Turtle Cay

Tuesday, Dec. 11

What's not to like about this: you pay the dock fee and then you eat and drink at the
restaurant and all those charges are free up to the price of the dock? We decided to
take a dock for one night at the Green Turtle Club  because the deal was too good to
pass up and the cracked conch dinner was superb. It is one of the best deals around
and very popular.
We were docked next to a boat we had first met on the Erie Canal from Michigan and
it was good to reconnect.
We had lunch the previous day at The Wrecking Tree in New Plymouth a town that
was settled by Loyalists from the US who had fled here during the Revolutionary War.
Like other towns around here the pace of life is very slow and people are outgoing and
welcoming. At one time "wrecking" was one of the major professions of the locals, the
salvaging of ships that wrecked on the reefs along the coast here.
The ocean beach of Green Turtle Cay is beautiful, unspoiled and we had it to ourselves.
The sand is very soft, clean and great for walking. The pool at the marina is great and we
enjoyed it in the afternoon, having it all to ourselves. There is a view of the harbor from
the pool area.
In the evening we had a group project taking apart our boat's compass trying to get it
to be reliable. We succeeded in disassembling it and getting it back together but little else.

The great special deal for docking and dining.
 
Great place for lunch along the beach at the
marina, with Ed and Joyce.
