Moraine Cay to Green Turtle Cay
Moraine Cay to
Green Turtle Cay was another easy journey of about 35 miles. Again, it was a
beautiful day. We were doing fine until we tried to get into the harbor. It was low tide and most of the time, there
was less than a foot of water under our keel in the dredged channel. A sailboat
was aground just short of the marina and we had to stop to try to figure out if
we could get around her without going aground ourselves.

The marina staff advised us to try to slip between the grounded boat and a sign on a pole at the edge of the channel. The gap was too narrow for us to pass until a fellow in a dinghy came out to help the grounded boat. In the attempt to un-ground her, he pushed her bow far enough out of the way to allow us to attempt to pass. We plowed ahead through the sand and made it to our slip. The grounded boat came in a few hours later when the tide began to rise.
The Green
Turtle Marina and Resort is a very nice facility. The docks are well maintained
and the staff is very proficient. On site is a small marina store with food
staples, a restaurant, a wonderful beach, a swimming pool on a bluff
overlooking White Sound, golf carts for rent to get around town and fishing
charters. The local ferry makes a stop
here and brings vacationers over from Treasure Cay which has an airport. We
plan to stay here a few days waiting for a good weather window to pass through
the Whale Cay Cut.
