Fri Feb.6th


This morning after a quick dingy ride around the bay we pulled up the anchor and set sail hoping to go south through the notorious Whale Cay and on to Treasure Cay or Marsh Harbour but that was not to be. There was one boat ahead of us that turned back and we decided to as well as we could see breakers out there. We decided to go back to Green Turtle Cay to anchor or dock. We anchored in Joyless Bay ( what a name eh!) as we had to wait for high tide to enter the harbour. Alex and Rebecca took the dingy in to check out Green Turtle Marina and said that they had a special on- eat in the restaurant and you could subtract your dock bill from your food tab Looking at the prices on their menu we decided we could probably dock for free for two days!!!!There are 3 Canadian boats at the same dock from Kingston, Scarborough and Collingwood. I think there are more Canadians down here than Americans right now. We did enjoy a lovely meal in the diningroom where Alex and Rebecca were able to partake in one of their ¨culinary dreams¨-stone crab. We learned that they are only able to take one of the crab´s claws and it grows back a new one. They have much thicker shells than our lobster , so harder to crack and are served here with mustard not butter.
