I Love GTC

Ahhhh back in Green Turtle again. I can’t pin it down but there is some things about this place that makes it most comfortable – except for the endless parade of BOZOS that have to run their little stink pot boats through the anchorage at full throttle and many do not even realize that they have not trimmed the boats – genuine BOZOS.

Today we took a couple of long dinghy rides to the southern beaches of GTC and to the area just below the Bluff House and did some beach combing. Except for a handful of very nice shells nothing interesting was found. After lunch we went to town to see if we could get our Visas extended. The customs office was closed – hmmm no hours posted. I stopped next door at the Post Office but the Post Mistress pleaded ignorance and knew nothing.. except the officer had just left..

I ran into a couple on the street and they gave me the straight skinny. Then have been non a mooring all winter on White sound and extended their visas. You can NOT do it at the regional offices. You have to go to an airport – they had had good luck with the Treasure Cay airport and on the day their visas expired. We will see.

We did some grocery shopping and hardware store browsing. It is just so comfortable walking around GTC. I think it is all the wild chickens running around and the constant distance crow of the roosters that I like. No big engine cars or trucks – just a noisy motorboat once in a while.

We will stay a couple of days till this next weather system passes. It is coming in tomorrow and the weather looks dicey through Thursday so we will probably leave on Friday for Island exploring here North of the Whale.

Ohhh yes we stopped at the library in town this afternoon – very neat and large selection of cruisers books for 1 – 1 exchange. They were impressed with my donations of Clive Cussler Hardback books that I picked up in Treasure Cay Library. They indicated those would not go into the exchange shelves but would be on the resident loaner shelves. I’m glad I made her day.

Born to Cruise came in and anchored today so it will be another night of wild dominoes!! Wuuu Huuuu.
