Green Turtle Cay Marina

We arrived at Green Turtle Cay about noon - right at high tide - as we are only able to enter this inlet on a rising tide.  The trip over was very rough - for a pass between islands - on the other side of the pass the seas were 5-6 feet - something we didn't feel comfortable traveling in.

Dan was pretty nervous about docking the boat in the high winds - as our last Key West high wind adventure resulted in a nice size hole in the side of the boat.  He did great - had full control of the boat while docking.  The morning of anxiety was all for not.

We dropped the dingy in the water in the Marina and headed over to the "settlement".  I wouldn't necessarily call it a town - but it has some restaurants, tiny grocery stores, and other town like establishments that qualify it as a settlement - not town.

We took the dingy around the island the next morning to find a spot for the next day to hang out, as Tuesday was designated as "work day".  We saw a huge sting ray in the water which glided away when we approached.



Our view - while working was great.  We were able to watch the traffic of the harbor while answering emails and doing some of our normal tasks.  This was much better than having a view of the parking lot.


We finished our work day, prepared a Margarita, then headed out for a great dinner.
