Green Turtle Cay, New Plymouth, Abacos, Bahamas


 We wanted to top off the last of the jerry cans with diesel in case we end up having to motor our way back to NC....Sunset Marina was an easy and friendly place to do that.

 

Just touring around in Black Sound in the dinghy - still lots of Hurricane Dorian damage and lots of boats washed up on the shorelines.  This is the dock that we normally tie up for a walk over to Pineapples Bar....

Speaking of Pineapple Bar....time for a fun lunch out.

Love their countertop vinyl!

 

We were there at noon and were the only ones eating lunch. 

Going back to the dinghy dock there were a couple of sharks hovering, looking for a treat I'm sure.

Back over into town on the dinghy - the view of Sojourn at anchor.

We just took a nice stroll around town.  I know they did take a lot of damage in Hurricane Dorian but most but not all of the buildings have been repaired here.



Mr. Rooster was shy....

Good to see the jail was not damaged!




The view of town from the hill.

And that's about it for New Plymouth!

I did one last grocery shop - this is $60...not bad.  Of note - I got a Vita Malt drink - I've never had one and I see folks drinking them here all the time.   I'll let you know how it is....and looking closely at those little cookie packages - one of them says Chocolate Creams and one of them says Digestive Creams.  Wonder what is the difference???  An English mystery I believe!

 

 

Back to the boat - the fuel tanker appeared to be waiting on high tide to go into White Sound (we had asked at Green Turtle Club yesterday about getting diesel and they informed us that their tanks were empty waiting on the tanker).   We were amazed that this large ship actually goes into White Sound! 

Uneventful evening - we watched an episode of Resident Alien.  Rather silly series that Pat & Diane suggested, telling us to watch a few episodes before judging.  They were correct.  Silly but fun.

  1. Digestive biscuits (cookies) are mostly whole wheat flour and bran. Whilst normal biscuits (cookies) are made with white AP flour.

  2. Glad to see White Sound is coming back. We really enjoyed our time there before the hurricane.
