Well, we are still here in Green Turtle Cay and enjoying it very much. We have found that this island is a great place to use as the home base and then from here we go to other islands and explore. This past weekend we went north to an island called "Munjack" which is very small but the coves and beaches are so beautiful with the water a turquoise blue. We motored there with of friends, Toni and Vane, who are from South Africa. They have a small power boat which enabled us to motor directly to the beach. While there, we did some shell hunting, a lot of swimming, walked along the sandy Atlantic beach where there are large amounts of plastic bottles that blow in due to storms. The cove on the west side of the island there is a cove called " Lagoon Bay" and this is well known for sharks, rays and turtles. We saw 5 sea turtles but no sharks or rays. While there we built a fire and had lunch on the beach and we were the only people there so it seemed like it was ' our island'. We are planning to leave here with Laila Rose and go North again to a few of the islands and explore and then head south to Guana Cay, Man-O-War Cay then to Elbow Cay to the town of Hopetown where of friends Marty and Tami Cash live. Looking forward to the reunion since we have not seen them in 8 years.
I don't recall if I mentioned that Nancy broke her middle toe and the doctor in Marsh Harbour installed a splint. This all took place a couple of weeks ago and she is getting around quite well now, but always wears hard sole shoes to protect her foot.
We are having a wonderful time and every morning when we look out at the sea, we know how lucky we are to be here. It's awesome.
|Love to all and will write soon.
