Moraine Cay-Green Turtle Cay - Apr 9-11

After a somewhat rocky night on anchor at Moraine Cay, we waited till mid morning for the rising tide to follow our track back around the island to deeper water. Success! We never touched bottom! The weather forecast was predicting some rain, so we decided to bypass a couple of planned stops and head to Green Turtle Cay, 35 miles southeast.  Green Turtle is a larger island with a sheltered harbor and a few marinas to choose from. We took a slip at the Other Shore Marina where we spent 2 nights. Tuesday night and Wednesday morning we had a good hard rain that gave the PV2 a much needed fresh water bath. After the rains cleared it was time to explore the area by dinghy. We toured the harbor, shopped in the town of New Plymouth, swung through Gilliam Bay where we followed some rays, and......went to No Name Cay.  No Name Cay is an uninhabited island except for a bunch of friendly pigs who will swim out to your boat in search of food. We showed up empty handed.... sorry pigs!
