We left our anchorage about seven thirty in the morning. Another beautiful day. Warm, sunny and mild winds. Before long we caught up with three other boats. A trawler and two sailboats. Low and behold it was Little Mick and his two friends. Remember we shared an anchorage with them at Little Shark river then again at Lake Sylvia. They were the group that left for West End at 6:30 am. We talked with them on the radio and decided to slow down and join them for the trip in to Green Turtle. In the early afternoon the winds kicked in enough to allow the sailboats to sail rather than motor sail. They were thrilled and it was fun to watch them gracefully move through the water. The harbor entrance to Green Turtle was a major discussion for the two sailboaters as they discussed whether they would need to wait until high tide to go in. We found the depths to average seven foot which was good for them. Mick and his friends went into the marina. Tom and I anchored out in the harbor. Later we found out that when you stay at the marina you can eat and drink up to the cost of your slip per night so if the slip was eighty dollars you had eighty dollars of credit at the restuarent. Not a bad deal especially with beers being five dollars and mixed drinks seven. We met the members of the other three boats for coctail hour then went back to our boat for dinner. They had decided to stay at Green Turtle for a few days, we were heading out for Marsh Harbor Saturday morning.
