Day 287, Saturday April 5th –Still Green Turtle
Cay
Today is a work day.
We have to start gathering up our tax information, pay some bills and do
some laundry. We head over to Cathy’s as
she has offered us her laundry facilities.
We only lug one load as our laundry situation is not too dismal yet.
We spend 3 or 4 hours at Cathy’s as she has great internet and
we have lots of administration to do.

After Cathy’s we head back to the boat, cutting through
Green Turtle Club so we pop in at the pool to see our buddies from Mandalay,
Miss Ellie, and Silver Maple. They are
all there playing bananagram. When we arrive
the bocce ball game comes out and next thing you know it is tournament time for
the guys. The women stay with the word
games and lounge in the pool. Boy life
is good.

On our return to the boat, we keep an eye out for Windward,
as Lynn and Ian are expected in Green Turtle today. Within a few minutes we see them coming into
the harbour. Once anchored we dinghy
over to say hello and invite them to join us for our evening shore appetizer
dinner, and euchre tournament. We are
expected on shore for 6 so cut the visit short.
We are meeting the afternoon pool chums back pool side for appetizer
dinner. We pop into the clubhouse to buy
our drinks so we are paying customers as we are using their property to
socialize on. Our fellow boaters are
actually staying in the marina so have full privileges. We had stayed at the marina last fall, but
have opted to anchor out in the bay this visit.
After dinner we head to Mandalay which is a 50 foot Beneteau
so lots of room for a euchre tournament.
John and Debbie (Americans) are just learning the game. The rest of us (all Canadians) have been
playing the game since highschool as most of us spent our highschool lunch time
playing euchre every day. Two new boaters join the evening part way
through. Rick and Poppy have just
arrived in the Bahamas but met the hosts Debbie and John in previous years.
Cheers
Julie and Dawson
