Sale Cay and Green Turtle Cay

These two parts of the journey have been kind to us. We left for Sale Cay thursday bright and early with about 10 other boats.

Passing through the shallows at Indian Cay was not that bad, we had a few feet to spare for the most part. Everyone took it slow and easy since the channel is narrow and not marked at all. What one does is plug some way points into the gps and fly by wire so to speak. But once through the water gets to all of ten feet deep all the way to Sale Cay. I have no idea why they called it Sale Cay since there are no stores there thus no bargains. All there is there are mosquitos, which stay ashore thankfully.

Arriving we dropped anchor and immediately it started to drag. As it turned out the Fortress was not good in sand and weeds, so out when the CQR. The fortress clogged with weeds and then bounced along the bottom. Ray are you out there? The CQR held like a rock not the Danforth! It's a totally different game down here and we are glad we had a selection of anchors to work with. Once sorted out the sun went down, and the water turned into a mirror that blurred the definition of sky and horizon. It was too dark to photograph however.

In the morning on we went until arriving here at Green Turtle. This place is how all marinas should be (except for the no-see-ums). Your restaurant bill is subtracted from your dock fees.

GPS tracks are uploaded, and photos are going to the bucket soon. I have to start commenting on the photos... I'll update this entry when the photos are there with the link.

Edit:

Updated the main page to include a link to the photo bucket, and started commenting the photos so they make a little sense.
