The Whale

Yesterday January 25 we left Green Turtle Cay about 8:30am headed for Treasure Cay.  In order to get there we had to go through Whale Cay Channel.  The concern that exists with Whale Cay Channel is whether there is a "rage" going or not.  With a rage the channel can literally have waves breaking across the entire channel.  We traveled with several other boats and the trip was uneventful.  It was a little rolly in spots, but nothing breaking at all.  The wind was relatively light so we motored most of the way.

Treasure Cay is a full service resort with marina.  They used to have a mooring field but now it is used for anchoring and all the moorings are gone.  Treasure Cay now charges $10 to anchor but allows the use of all their facilities.  Not a bad deal.  Weather has been relatively cool (long pants cool) so not a lot of water or beach activity.  Many of the locals we've talked with say this is the slowest January they can remember.  Had pizza at "Pizza Night" at the marina last night.  Lots of people there, many that looked like they might be golfers since there is an 18 hole course connected to the resort.  We'll probably spend at least one more night here because the weather is suppose to deteriorate again.  Saturday or Sunday sound good so we may head to Guana Cay or Marsh Harbor depending on what actually happens with the forecast.
