Time to climb back on that horse -- anchoring horse

I have to admit that I was really spooked 2 weeks ago when My "fantastic never fail Rocna" anchor dragged big time here in White Sound. It's not unusual to drag anchor here because of the proclivity of turtle grass but I thought I was immune -- I wasn't.

We have been in the high dollar marina for 2 weeks now and it is time to go. Unfortunately we don't have a great weather window showing in the next week but it is time to go. I think I'll stay out of White Sound for awhile though.

There are the northern cays here to explore so that is what we will do or if worse comes to worse we will go to the Leeward Yacht Club in Black Sound and tie up for nearly half the price of the Green turtle club.

Now don't get me wrong the facilities here at the Green Turtle Club are definitely A1 and we have enjoyed them. Unlimited daily showers -- some times twice in a day -- a great pool and sturdy docks to tie to and a marina staff that is next to none -- very friendly and accommodating.

They have a great restaurant here but pricey and we do not want to add that expense to our stay here. We are eating well but it is all prepared by Chef Karen.

For a diversion and some fun we rented a golf cart yesterday for a day and went to town to pickup some bulky soda and beer as well as general provisions. We will be gone but not far for awhile. Time to load up. We used the golf cart to explore the Ocean Beach road -- rough as hell -- As well as the road to the Bluff House -- rougher than hell in fact my windshield popped out of the supports at one point!!

We made another trip this morning before turning the cart back in just to visit town one more time in case we do leave the GTC area next week to head back to the USA. It was very quiet for Good Friday. They are quite religious here in a Christian way and thus Easter is a big deal here.

Right now it looks like we will be in the area for at least another week. We are going to pass on the one day weather window on Monday because it will not be a truly pleasure boater dream -- seas 3 - 5 feet! However several cruisers said that is fine with them and they will be going --- we are pleasure boaters.... Stay tuned.

Ohhh when we came back from the USA last month we only asked for 60 days in the Bahamas -- man we have used almost 30 of those now!! Gosh hope to be back within 2 weeks now...
