Day 10

Winds died down during the night so we are anticipating an easy haul for the dinghy! And it was - first thing this morning, because there are hellacious rain clouds out there. Dinghy is up, a couple of cups of coffee and we started up the engines. Then, of course, the rain came, so we sat that short shower out. Then we motored on to Green Turtle Cay. We took Jeff and Izzy’s lead and called the Other Shore Club. They have no diesel, but we are welcome to dock for a night or two. It is approaching low tide and the water is SHALLOW, but we made it into the dock only churning some mud. Kevin, the dockmaster, helped us get tied off. The first thing was a shower in the air conditioning and then a trip to Pineapples, the on site bar and grill with SWIMMING POOL!!! It operates on Bahamian time, which is first come, first served, and we were way back in the line! There was a party of about 14 who had all ordered food, followed by several other parties. We did manage to get some beers and order food, and with the pool nearby, it was not a problem to wait for conch fritters and fried grouper. It was worth the wait!! After some great conversations with the other patrons, we retired to the boat for a nap. Late afternoon, I made Harold get up and take a walk to New Plymouth. Harold about expired from perspiration, and everything in town was closed tighter than a drum, but we needed the exercise….Back to the boat, some TV and off to bed!
