Well this page is a little out of sequence. We ended up spending a week and a day at Green Turtle Cay at The Other Shore Marina. While the dock is nothing to right home about, the price was great and Kevin the dock master was helpful. We found Charlie S/V Sandpiper moored right in front of us and with S/V Kokopelli joining us three days later we had a merry group.
The Bar and Grill Pineapples is on site and they do have some of the best Conch Fritters I have tasted. Yvonne makes one of the best Pina Colodas I have had in a long time. We also dinned at Harvey's the home made ice cream very good. This is a small cay with only 450 residences, a lot of part timers, visitors by ferry from other cays and boat people. New Plymouth the main city was founded in the 18th century and they are very proud of their heritage. You can rent golf carts to get around, however to just about everything is in walking distance or a short dingy from White Sound to Black Sound.
I am sure we will return to this laid back, idyllic Cay
Green Turtle Cay is an island in The Bahamas. It is located in the "Abaco Out Islands" and is 3 miles (4.8 km) long and 1/2 mile wide. It was named after the abundance of green turtles that inhabited the area. The population of the island is about 450 and its main settlement is New Plymouth which was founded in the 18th century. The architecture of the older homes in the village is unique in the Bahamas, with steep-pitched roofs, originating with settlers from New England.
