Greetings from Green Turtle Cay (GTC) Again and Again

We were going to leave the marina today but there is a strong 80% chance of thunderstorms today and the winds are stronger than forecast. We still don't have a useable I-phone on the BTC network (thus no internet once we leave) and we need to wait till Thursday for the BTC office to open one day a week for 3 hours or go around the Whale Cay passage to Treasure Cay and get it sorted out there. Since we haven't used the phone in a long time we have to start over with a new SIM card and account. Can't do that online so we wait.

The WiFi here at GT Club is GREAT. So I figured if I got a good monthly rate we could just stay here and save the $100 that we would have spent on a 6GB plan with BTC for a month. Well they came up with a good rate (each is decided individually by the owner) so we are here for the next 30 days. Now we can come and go as we please but we have a slip here for 30 days now. Good thing because after a few great weather days it all comes to an end Thursday night through Sunday with strong winds and rain. I have never seen so much rain here before than again we are here earlier than in the past.

We wanted to stay in the area through New Years so this works out well for us.
Unfortunately day to day not much will be happening. Just eating, drinking, and being merry with nearly daily long walks and swims in the ocean.

I'll post when something interesting occurs.

Today was just coming to the decision to stay, then launching the dinghy for town, and picking up some fresh Conch Salad (they made it in front of me) and a case of Kalik Gold to wash it all down with. Hmmm that is eating, drinking, and being merry.
