March 31 - April 2, 2015 Green Turtle Cay

we had a great day to cross the Whale, and anchored in Green Turtle Cay, the home of No See ums, once again

Mary Ellen, Mike, Persuasion, and Joe, beach combing

Persuasion

we moved for a day anchorage to look for sand dollars

note the colour difference of the water

Modaki and Persuasion at anchor, in a brisk westerly breeze

Mary Ellen

Joe took this picture of these guys fishing, right where I was snorkelling, i hope it was just little fish they were  after …

a scene from New Plymouth, just maybe one of our favourite towns

Caspian Tern

the supply boat was in the harbour, this man kept notes of all the unloading and loading

New Plymouth

a shrimp that we returned to the sea

before  the pigs saw us

first was the baby pig

mama pig

Daddy Pig

these pigs have not learnt to swim yet

we understand that finding fresh water is an issue, and they are also fed by a local man and they also want donations

New Plymouth 

this is out of order, but it is the supply boat

some one is getting sod for their lawn

March 29 - 30, 2015 Marsh Harbour to Great Guana Cay

our Nova Scotia friend, Tina Campbell … at sunset and conch blowing

Joe working at cleaning the dinghy of black salt stains

Ray, Mango Manager, he makes us all feel so welcomed … there is a lot of Canadians that use this marina as a home base

a beachcombing scuba diver 

getting ready to do some beach combing of our own, Joe found me a sea biscuit today

this netting was not here a month ago, when we walked this beach, I sure would not want to have this wrapped around my keel

we are getting browner by the day

it is spring here, and the flowers are beautiful

cactus blooming

on the north part of Great Guana Cay is Baker's Bay and the vacation homes of the rich and famous,

this Cat transports them from Marsh Harbour, AIRPORT, to Baker's Bay … our friend Tina, saw Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban and their children a few weeks ago

March 25-28, 2015 Marsh Harbour

one last look at Hope Town, until next season

back in Marsh Harbour

on our way in we saw 2 women paddling with the wind to their backs, I said to Joe they will have a hard time returning against the wind … about 1 1/2 hours later, they where rescued and returned 

Persuasion, Mary Ellen and Mike had dinner with us

Joe helping adjust lines on other boats, the wind blew 40 knots in the night and by morning it clocked around and was blowing us into the dock …. Charlie, from WingSpread on the left

the Out Island Doctors Castle

Joe harvested another coconut, removing the outer shell
