Yesterday morning we left the anchorage at Great Guana Cay and sailed/motor sailed to Green Turtle Cay. We had to transit the Whale Cay Cut which, in our early trips to the Bahamas, struck fear on our hearts. We had heard several stories about it “raging” (meaning breaking waves across the entire width of the cut.) Now we have a better understanding of the appropriate conditions for transiting the Whale and we did it today without any problem.

We had made arrangements to pick up a mooring ball at Donny’s Marina which is in Black Sound at Green Turtle Cay. The entrance is quite shallow and we wanted to wait until close to high tide to enter the harbor. We anchored outside of the harbor and waited for the tide to come in. While we waited George ran the watermaker.
We had no problems entering Black Sound and we picked up the last mooring ball Donny had available. We are so happy Donny saved it for us and we have the added bonus of being right next to our friends on Desiderata II. Michael helped us pick up the mooring.
