Gone Whaling!!

We are now back in Green Turtle Cay anchored in White Sound. We had an easy passage around the Whale Cay Passage this morning. It was impassable for the last couple of days but really settled down yesterday and was just a "pussy cat" today. I was careful to time our passage when wind and waves were together and near slack water to make for an easy crossing.

It's been a nice day but again windier than forecast - so what else is new??

We have a weather system coming in Monday - Tuesday so we decided to anchor in White Sound until it passes. Then we will explore Manjack and Powell Cays.

Today is just a relaxing day enjoying the fresh breeze on the hook and charging the batteries via the wind generator.

I went over and visited with Evert on Capricious. He will be here till the 28th then back to Ontario (Canada -- for you Ohio readers). He is the resident BASRA Weather forecaster from here so I will just check in and not report while staying in White Sound.

Not much else to report just reading and enjoying the fine weather here. There really isn't much going on in GTC on a Sunday anyway. We will do the town tomorrow and donate a PILE of books to the local library here. Who knows - might even be able to get our VISAS extended too although most cruisers have reported problems with getting extensions. Everyone is hearing a different story it seems. I'll report mine later.
