Double Breasted Cays-March 29th- Calm and sunny, motored the short run to the south anchorage, caught and released 2 small Barracuda along the way. Anchored in narrow channel on south end along with friends Craig and Dianne on Tropical Storm. Very tight entrance and had to back off of sand bar once upon entering. (Chris was on bow reading the water and pointing the way in but once again I failed to listen). Had read much about how pretty these islands were but we really didn't find much to keep us there more than a day. worked scraping barnacles off of port side of keel and scrubbing hull. Much easier job in these gin clear waters. Will get to stbd side anither day. After all we are on Bahamas time mon!

Green Turtle Cay- March 31at thru April 3rd. A brisk wind found us close hauled under reefed sails covering the 30 miles in good time. Picked up a mooring in protected Black sound at our friend Donnies. Spent the next few days exploring the beautiful beaches and biking about the island.

Life is good at Green Turtle CayGrand Cay- Mon thru Thurs, March 26th thru 29th
Spending our days wandering about the tiny village, exploring the many backwaters and ocean beaches. Bought more lobster tails for the freezer as the season ends soon. Gathered Whelk from the rocky shoreline as we were told they were a local favorite. They are a snail like mollusk and I tried cooking them like escargot. Well we could have saved a lot of trouble and just cooked shoe leather in garlic and butter. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Winds have been strong so venturing out to the ocean reefs has not been an option.

The best bargain yet, 12 tails for $20
