Green Turtle Cay, Abacos, Bahamas

 The strong east winds finally subsided and allowed us to go north through the Whale Cay cut.   We parted ways with Kohina for now as Phyllis has a flight to catch in Marsh Harbour.  We'll likely see Ross again in the next week as he makes his way north solo.

Kohina sailing towards Marsh Harbour.....my cellphone camera just doesn't take good photos at a distance.....

 

 

 Ross sent me this much better focused photo of Sojourn at about the same time.

 Sailing with one engine on low rpm in fairly light winds (8-12 knots).   Always fun to see progress on the island just north of the ritzy Baker's Bay resort.  What I can gather, this private island in part of Baker's Bay - and hosts the normal amenities that you would expect plus a single golf hole....strange.  When we first came thru here in 2018 the construction had just begun.

 

Very uneventful passage through the Whale Cay cut.  Just a gentle ocean swell and no breaking waves.  

Approaching Green Turtle Cay, busy on the water with small craft enjoying the Easter Monday holiday. 

We will be here for an extended amount of time, waiting for a weather window to cross to the US.
