Green Turtle Cay





Hello all! Jeff and I have spent the last few days hopping among Green Turtle Cay, No Name Cay and Munjack. We really like all they have to offer. Green Turtle is a tourist destination with grocery stores, read $5.00 for a head of broccoli!, bars, restaurants and museums. The houses mostly one story built in the 1800’s to early 1900’s are great. They are painted in such fun tropical pastel colors with picket fences and little court yards. They remind me of Beaufort, except for the colors. The Cay (pronounced key) is home to many golf carts and the streets are made for them but there are also cars. Where they find fuel for them is unknown. We are here in the Abacos for race week. We watched the start of the regatta 2 days ago and we have been enjoying many free drinks and dock parties. There was one at the harbor 2 nights ago and it was great. They were giving the prizes for the first race and a local bar supplied all the rum drinks and beers. It ended with a Junkanoo parade and I wish that KShon was there to enjoy the drumming. It was amazing. Lots of cowbell, I love the cowbell. I have had an opportunity on a few rainy afternoons (it is the rainy season) to put together a few things. See below!
