Alan's to Green Turtle Cay 3/2-3/3/18

When we woke up this morning the wind had shifted and the waves were starting to build to the Northwest where we were exposed to the ocean.  The wind had swung almost 180 degrees overnight and this would not be a comfortable anchorage for long.  The dingy was down so I took Abby over to the beach to do her thing and then we loaded up and raised anchor to head to Green Turtle Cay before it got any rougher.  We made water all the way and did some laundry along the way because we wanted to arrive with full water at Green Turtle.  I'm not a fan of making water in a harbor as pump-outs are almost unheard of here and you know what that means for the water in a harbor. We made enough water that I even washed down part of the boat before we pulled into Green Turtle.
 We called the Leeward Yacht Club to make a reservation because the wind was supposed to blow out of the north for 3-4 days and it looked like a fun place to spend some time.  Leeward YC is located in Black Sound of Green Turtle Cay and when Marvin called us back he told us he didn't have any room at the Leeward YC but he could put us at Fiddlers Green docks. We were disappointed because Leeward YC has a pool and restaurant and bar.  We didn't know what to expect at Fiddlers Green.
When we pulled into Black Sound we called Marvin on the radio and he informed us that we needed to go to White Sound the next bay over and he would meet us there. He did and it is a great place with brand new docks and all to ourselves.  No bar or restaurant but it is close to the Bluffs and Green Turtle Club so if we need a bar or restaurant they are walking distance away.  Marvin said he was busy but would return in about an hour with the paperwork for the dockage.  True to Bahamian sense of time we haven't seen him yet!
All tied up and time for a beer
