Green Turtle – White Sound May 1-5

On Tuesday morning we separated from our mooring ball in Black Sound and motored over to White Sound...We had decided to take advantage of the ‘”eat your dockage”, special at Bluff house for a few days. You are credited the amount of your dockage towards food and drink purchases in their restaurant. No generator/inverter schedule to maintain, no anchor line checks in the wee hours of the morning, long hot showers rather than cool saltwater baths and a different fabulous fish dish for lunch poolside everyday! Cool mon!! It was a treat for Peanut as well. She enjoyed having a daily walk on something other than sand and not having to use her doggie litter box .We packed about as much fun as possible into our four day stay. Tuesday afternoon we walked around the area and visited the beach. Wednesday night we danced the night away with three other couples to the sounds of a local group, the Gully Roosters, Having grown to love the Bahamian dance music we decided to dink over to the Yacht Club on Black Sound on Thursday evening to hear them again. The lead singer walked over to thank us for coming back to hear the band. He and Tom talked about parties they had played at in the states. As we were leaving the lead singer gave us a CD and phone number in case we wanted them to come play for a party in the states. Friday Brian,,who runs Sundowners took us fishing. We were sooooo excited. Our hope was to catch a few fish and learn a few things to help us. We were successful; on both counts.We spent our last evening at Sundowners dancing to a D.J/ During a conversation with three ladies I learned that they were active in the Green Turtle Primary School PTO . It was great to hear a parents perspective on the schools. Cyndi volunteered to take the remaining letters I had from Kolling to the school! I was so excited, that means all the students at Kolling who wrote letters will receive one!
