Green Turtle Cay and Check out my Dinghy

After placing a commemorative bottle of GoldSchlager on the Hark the Sound, we left for Green Turtle Cay. Again the wind was against us, so it was a bouncy ride, but it was only 20 miles. We pulled into the Bluff House Marina based on some recommendations from some Charleston folks we met in the West End. The marina had plenty of room and we did see the couple from Charleston. The island is beautiful. We were mistaken for another couple that got married at the Bluff House the day before. Who knew that a big bald guy dating a pretty blond woman could have a case of mistaken identity here in the Bahamas!

It was time to christen the Dinghy! BJ does not like it so much, but it is a blast. We took it through the White Sound over to a local establishment called Pineapples. It is a very local bar with a pool and a dinghy landing. As it turned out we met the newly wed couple, Kevin and Dawn here at Pineapples. They are leaving tomorrow, but their friends, John and Tina will be here a few more days. They are all from England. We hung out with them all afternoon. On the way back, I took all the women on the dink while the other guys took their golf cart back to the dive shop.
I knew I could get some action if I could just show off my dinghy! The maiden voyage and I had three beautiful women on it. Once we got back to the marina (we beat the guys even though we could not achieve a plane with 4 people on it), the girls were trying to help each other. They helped so much that Tina fell into Dawn and Dawn was pushed overboard. I retrieved her, but not before her butt was entirely in the water. I said we hung out all afternoon.

We showered and made arrangements to meet up with the other couple at the Bluff House bar, since they are also staying at the resort. We met up with Kev and John, but there was no sign of the girls. Apparently, they needed sleep after such a fun-filled day. We also met Brendal there. Brendal is the local legendary dive master. We decided to go to another local establishment, called Sundowners (open from 5 until, everday). We all rode on Brendal’s boat and were here until about 1:30AM. I was exhausted so we finally hit the rack awaiting another day after 2 late nights in a row.

The Marina
Bluff House Marina
This looks like a real nice marina with all the services you could need. They have several restaurants, a pool, showers, and laundry. The staff is first rate. They are extremely helpful and very nice. We are on an “inside” slip with only about 3 ft at low tide. The pilings are designed to dock the boats at a slight angle which is interesting.

The Food
The food today consisted of cheese and crackers at The Bluff House bar, but it was really great!
