Getting ready for the next destination

We spent 3 nights at the Bluff House Maria in green Turtle Cay already. Tomorrow, we will leave this very nice place and move to Powell Cay, an island just 6 miles west from where we are right now. After that, we will move on to Crab Cay, Great Sale Cay and then anchoring on the bank near Memory Rock, for the Friday night, before we cross the Gulf Stream on Saturday. As so often during the last couple weeks, these plans are subject to change, depending on the weather. But so far, it looks like the crossing will take place on Saturday.

This will be the binning of our last couple legs on our way towards Florida. Since we try to avoid the overpriced, narrow marina at West End, we will not have a further opportunity to top up fuel and water. So we bought some diesel right here at the dock, and filled the water tanks, according to what we will need on the approximately 6 days, until we will be doled in Stuart again.

This afternoon, we went to the small but very nice beach on the south side of the island. It's just a 5 minutes walk. The water is beautiful and the beach bar had Conch Fritters, which are just delicious. Conch is a local, quite large shell, from which various dishes can be prepared. Conch Fritters and Conch salad are our favourites.

From now on, we will not have internet access, to post anything here, unless we have get back to Stuart Florida.
