We spent Thursday touring Green Turtle Cay. The winds have continued to increase so fishing offshore has been out of the question. We have now been at Green Turtle Cay since Sunday and ACTM is like a caged tiger! The wind forecast is for continually increasing winds through the next few days so we are going to try to make it to Marsh Harbor today if we can for a change of scenery. Otherwise, we will be stuck here and we've "been here and done this" so time to move on. The tricky part is going through what is called Whale Cay Channel....very narrow between rocks and goes out into the ocean. So...with just the right wind conditions we are told and have been reading that it can be impassable. The bad thing is that it is the only way to get to Marsh Harbor. You have to go through Whale Cay Channel, out into the ocean for about 3 miles, and back into the Sea of Abaco. Once we get back into the Sea of Abaco it should be fine. The ocean part is short and ACTM says that we can stand ANYTHING for 3 miles! So....we'll see. Might end up right back here if the pass looks too treacherous! Yikes!!! John and Lori have opted to hang here and wait out the wind as they are in a sailboat and don't have enought HP to power through the pass. So...we said goodbye to them for now. Will hook up with them on down the road somewhere. Will catch you on the flip flop and hopefully be reporting in from Marsh Harbor later today or tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteLove the pic! No, we didn't sink but it was a little treacherous....we are now at Marsh Harbor having a beer and celebrating our successful passage through the "most treacherous pass in the Bahamas!" We made it just fine....NO PROBLEM as they say here in the Bahamas!
