Well it’s Almost time to move on. It has been two months here on Green Turtle Cay. Life definitely moves at a different pace here in the Bahamas. With all the holiday festivities going on this past month, we have met a lot of nice people, both locals and cruisers. The nice thing about this little peace of paradise, is it’s not commercialized and their celebrations are from the heart and not the wallet. We have been to the settlement lighting ceremony, the tree lighting ceremony, a Christmas golf cart parade, Christmas Eve cruisers brunch at the Green Turtle Club, Christmas Day potluck, drum marches through the whole settlement every morning at 5:00 am the week before Christmas, New Year’s Eve pot luck, New Year’s Day Junkanoo parade and street party, with wonderful fireworks in the evening. Then after the New Year’s and holiday celebrations are all over with and this little island goes back to its daily routines. You have a moment to breath the fresh air, look around and see all the beauty the Mother Nature has to offer. I have not passed by one person, with out them smiling, saying hello and offering help weather it’s for a ride up the hill our holding you painter line while getting in the dinghy to just holding the door open or loading you groceries into you golf cart. You feel welcome here as if you are part of their family. It is alway hard to say good bye to Green Turtle Cay, but we now that we will be passing this way again as we make our way home in a few month from now.
Our next adventure will be hanging out in ManJack and some of the close by island until mid February. At that time we will be renewing our visa for another 90 days and then we will start making our way to the Eleuthera islands. Until next time, fair wind and safe journeys my friends.
